Raw Deal
Bullets! Women! -- Can't Hold a Man Like That!
Directed by Anthony Mann
Produced by Edward Small Productions, Eagle-Lion Films (US)
A classic film noir about a convict caught between loyalty and survival, navigating betrayal, revenge, and competing romantic claims in a morally murky underworld.
Joe Sullivan is itching to get out of prison. He's taken the rap for his accomplice Rick, a sadistic mobster who owes him $50,000 from the job they pulled. Rick sets up an escape for Joe, assuming that Joe will be killed while fleeing. But with the help of his love-struck girl Pat and his sympathetic legal caseworker Ann, Joe gets further than Rick intended...
