Hello sir Cult Cinema Classics, I have already congratulated thee on the good quality o’ yer subtitles in the French translation o’ the dialogues o’ the films : « the little Lord Fauntleroy », one Shirley Temple film, one film wi’ John Wayne the queer, the film « Too late fer tears » but today, ‘bout this film, I would like tae congratulate thee much mo’ warmly than the previous four times. Well, thou might not be behind the writing o’ the subtitles fer this movie, but I have tae find someone tae receive my congratulations. So it will be yew who will receive these congratulations. Aléa jacta est. As far as this film iz concerned, the translation goes far beyond a simple correct literal translation, it iz rich in well-chosen images an’ perfectly obeying those o’ the French language. Wot a pleasure ! Realize, I just got out o’ the psychiatric hospital ‘cause I had the misfortune tae read ten Sherlock Homes films’ subtitles an’ I got madder than I already waz. In a nutshell, I'm very satisfied, but it's a shame that thou dinnae give me the opportunity tae burn down this S.O.B. o' Yewtube that I constantly complain ‘bout. So, kisses tae thee my beau.

Quicksand is one of Mickey's finest films. Thanks for the upload.
Yes, true. But don't forget his real great performance in "Drive A Crooked Road" from 1954.
Watching Mickey Rooney's character slide down the rabbit hole with each passing mistake was nerve-racking. Good movie with excellent acting in all areas. Also, good quality film for1950.
he was always. creepy
What a tangled web we weave ...
Film-Noir never fails to entertain you, the golden age of Hollywood.
For 20 dollars you could take someone out to a movie, eat dinner, go to a bar and drink n dance and still have change..what a beautiful time in life
sourire....
$220 in today's money
@@roguedalek900 : Hey Thomas, why did ye send me thy comment ?
I love movies with Peter Lorre in them. Mickey Rooney was a cross between a find character actor and leading man.
Fine
This is one of the best film noirs. I got hooked on this kinda movies recently and I love the way they teach the essential of life.
@Mark989 we have “evolved”.....eye roll
@Mark989 xz not
Same I love the film noir genre
That being everyone you meet in life is out to screw you over!
@@jonnieinbangkok : So I'm cancelin' mah date wi' thee fer next Friday
Terrific film, thank you. Mickey Rooney goes from a bad to worse scenario with every turn and he was very believable in his role.
Great movie.
The traps people get themselves into due to their own stupidity and greed - it makes them go down a dangerous life entrapment rabbit hole - classic.
This was unexpected...Mickey Rooney in a nice film noir role. He proves he can pull it off as you watch his poor decisions mount with pity. It's those choices starting with his ditching a pretty and upright girl for a fast floosey. It's like he's getting in deeper by the moment ditching his sense of right. Will he pull himself out of the dead-end path or lose everything? He makes you have to watch because it could go either way. Good tense story.
This movie is nothing but one big anxiety attack!! 😮😮 Why in the world do I watch it?!? My life doesn't have enough anxiety already?!?😢
@mickeyray3793 Typical...! Cheers!
Excellent cast, excellent story, excellent acting, all combined to make this an excellent movie.
A very well written suspenseful movie starring the great Mickey Rooney !!! he was a tiny man but somehow he had star quality and he lit up the screen. I love old movies with the stars of yesteryear. Again a great film.
This is classic Film Noir. Danny (Mickey Rooney) is a bad boy, falls for the conniving blonde when he should have stuck with the much better looking brunette who actually saw something in him (I don't know what, he is kind of a loser). And of course, Peter Lorre at his slimeball best . Plus as someone (me) who has quit smoking over 30 years ago, I felt like I smoked a whole pack of cigarettes watching this film, which felt great. This is a classic. About 1 hour 20 minutes. Well worth it.
Rooney’s acting was great in this. Very natural.
He's impressive. A very versatile actor. He was brilliant in Requim for a Heavyweight.
Since I cut the cord. I don’t have TCM. Well, this channel gets me what I’ve been missing. Thanks ❗️😃
Awesome cars in this movie.
Why does he hide with this blonde?.
This poor guy is.surrounded by.trouble and.dames.
Unless the lawyer blabs, he's abetting a criminal.
Don't let good boy go bad, don't let him be a sucker .Teach him right from wrong.
Thank you ! A true gem ! Mickey is a real Actor in this movie and it was a wonderful surprise 🌟
And 20 years later, Mickey Rooney went from hardened criminal to Santa Claus in a Rankin / Bass Christmas special. What a guy haha
Nice to see the old Santa Monica. The old pier had a small fishing town feeling.
Mickey Rooney shines in this morality play that can be described either as dumb or mechanical and resourceful. As expected, Peter Lorre is good in the role of a small-time gangster.
One dumb thing after.another!,
@@johnbockelie3899 : Thou art rite ! So comes thy comment o' thine.
An enjoyable film from 1950s, one initial bad decision sets in motion the whole chain of events. The sweet-natured spurned girlfriend is a beautiful actress, Barbara Bates, who was only 43 when she died in 1969. She took her own life, having suffered from severe depression for many years, and this had also ended her acting career, a sad story indeed. Enjoyed Peter Lorre's cameo too.
Mickey plays a jerk so well. Love the nuance.
Great acting by Lorre, first and then Mickey.
Great film noir !
Great little movie. Never saw before til now. One of the best Mickey Rooney movies I've ever seen.
Superb!
Doesn’t matter how improbable the storyline, how obvious the outcomes, how stupidly the characters behave, the measure of a good thriller like this is that the viewer takes it all in, hook, line and sinker, right up to the obvious ending. And I’m only halfway through still!
That’s because writers used to know how to write, directors knew how to direct and actors knew how to act
Those days have long since gone
@@kathyh4804 : I don't make you say it
It' s not improbable at all. Men throw their lives away everyday for a woman. That is the theme of film noir and of all history. Going back to the Trojan War history is replete with men destroying their lives over a woman.
@user-nb6pq7qh5y
You're absolutely right. It started with Adam. He let eve lead him astray.
Hey Guys , a gal here , she didn’t chase him , he chased her , dismissing the sweet brunette . why is it always the girl’s fault ?

A great and unique noir. Just watched again for the 2nd or 3rd time in 15 years. Thanks!
The bad girl is so bad and the good girl so good. Mickey is such a goof. This is perfect! Thanks!
I've watched this a few times over the years. A near perfect flick that just gets better. Thanks!
A beautiful noir with a happy ending, the kind that you usually don’t see. I LOVED IT! ❤🎉🎉🎉
Terrific to see Mickey Rooney in this type of noirish film, he pulls it off, totally believable. The two female leads were convincingly the direct opposite of each other, all the cast were perfect. My only complaint is Peter Lorre had very little to do, he is so memorable in every movie he’s in. I was racking my brains as to how I know the actor who plays the lawyer in the car at the end - Taylor Holmes. He’s Mr Edmond Sr in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes who’s in that hilarious scene where he accuses Marilyn Monroe: do you deny you intend to marry my son for his money? and she replies: no, I intend to marry him for YOUR money! That was yet to come when he appeared in this.
I remember the Marilyn Monroe movie. Lol. 😆
James Cagney's sister does a good job. Rooney is excellent.
A man doesn't know what he has until he loses it
Great movie... life turned upside down because he had to have that $20 to take Vera out... downward spiral from there! So I’m assuming Vera went to jail as an accessory to the theft? They didn’t really elaborate. Mickey Rooney was great as always😊
I didn't know Mickey Rooney did dramatic roles. He's great in this picture!
Another newsflash: The planet Jupiter is large.
The Secret Invasion. ALSO in an excellent TZ episode where he is a washed up jockey.
That lawyer was remarkably sympathetic in the circumstances, almsot incredibly so! Good film.
Ya really good one. i didnt know about this film
True.!! but how come he waited to turn on the news. lol
They named this movie well. The old pinball and arcade games are works of art too.
Loved it, thank you! I wasn't quite sure about Mickey Rooney in a film noir, but he was perfect for the part and played it well.
He was also really good in a couple of other noirs. Drive a Crooked Mile and The Strip come to mind. Also, he did fine work in Requim for a Heavyweight and Baby Face Nelson. Rooney definitely had dramatic acting chops.
Attempted murder, breaking and entering, assault and battery, grand larceny - all felonies, yet no choke hold, no knee to the throat, no billy club and no hand cuffs. The police let him ride to the precinct with a perfect stranger and he gets to make out with his girlfriend in the back of the car. Ahh, the good old days!
Yeah...fake Ole Hollywood.
@thankthelord4536 yeah.. im sure it wasn't like that..
But old film and TV gave many of us the illusion of a mostly peaceful world
Boy, Jimmy Cagne's sister was a bigger gangster than him, lol. Nice, little script with a moral. Thanks for uploading.
let's not be sexist
I think that is one of Mickys best movies
I’m surprised at no comment on the brief appearance of Jack Elam at the bar before Mickey followed him out.
So many nifty old cars from back in the day
Good flick
Yes, why have Elam only to say one line?
I’m sure he was just breaking into the movies and relatively unknown at that time he wasn’t shown in the credits either just a young inspiring actor. Lol
I know! I was thinking how much those beautiful cars cost NOW
Google how Jack Elam got his start as an actor. Interesting story.
And no mention here of the appearance of Jimmy Dodd in the opening scenes. He spent years as the (super-familiar) host of Disney's Micky Mouse Club daily tv show. A whole generation grew up with him.
Wow the term quicksand describes this movie perfectly.
It caught me , alright -when I saw it was Mickey, I was going to click away - but got sucked in.
How quickly things spiralled out of control! Never the less a very enjoyable watch.
I love that he just keeps sinking further and further into trouble. Living up to the title.
That escalated quickly.
LOL, I remember watching this as a kid. I kept waiting for the scene with the quicksand, lol, before I began to see the underlying meaning. I remember him hitting a guy, a love interest and that his situation grew more and more desperate. Now i'll watch it again, without anticipating any quicksand.
Stopped at the end by 1950 Jon and Ponch , C.H.P.
Very good movie. Love Mickey Rooney in this and didnt realize the scope of his talent.
Love how he mugs someone and cops are instantly there.
GOOD MOVIE 🎥! I love film noir movies!❤ These old movies are so good!
It was a good movie I have never seen it till now , Thank you for sharing
The girl with brown hair was ten times better looking then the blonde bird.
The "blond bird" is Jimmy Cagney's sister, so watch what you say about her. ;-)
Totally agree with you ! Plus I wouldn't get lost with that money grubbing personality .
Barbara Bates, Phoebe in All About Eve, sadly suffered from depression and committed suicide at 43.
@@biaedwards4025 any other fascinating tidbits you want to share with the world
Blonde bird? How old are you 198? Nobody in the past 70 yrs calls women birds. I’m surprised you even know how to open an app like CZcams to watch this old movie. Or did your great great great great great granddaughter put this on for you.
Bird....lol
All that spiral just a HOT mess!! Lol
I love these old shows. That's real acting Mickey Roonie.
This movie is giving me anxiety. Dude is caught in a trap of his own making. I almost can't watch anymore.
I almost quit watching too!! It was stressing me out!😂
I want that mink " stole".
The original " Dumb and dumber". What a patsy, what a ruse.
🤣that’s why I fast forwarded
Yer I"m out at 29:16. Same reason. I do not need the stress.
Mickey Rooney in this movie showed me that he did have acting talent great choice by hm fourth time I’m watching this Lorre is his creepy slime character that he was a genius at
Há muito tempo que não via um clássico destes! Grande história e muita adrenalina, do princípio até ao fim! Obrigado pelo post!
A friend who used to work in the film industry in the 90s told me about a time on set. After a take, one of the other camera operators came up to him and said, "Nice Mickey Rooney". Maureen O'Hara was the main actress in the scene and heard this. She came over and said that in all the years in the industry, she had never heard that term. Then asked what it meant. My friend was slightly embarrassed then admitted it described how the camera slowly moved closer to the actors while keeping everything in focus. Maureen was a bit confused, then my friend said, "you know, a slow creep".
Whenever I think of Mickey Rooney, I always think of him as, despite its controversy, Mr. Yunioshi from Breakfast At Tiffany's.
@cbonklisse, aw, SHADDUP!
The controversy at Brekky was that Audrey would fall for the mashed potato lead.
Yeah, I've watched this again tonight - and shall again many more times, to be sure. Love it: love Rooney, Lorre and Cagney together.
every move he makes, gets him deeper into trouble- and then comes a girl who loves him to rescue him. Nice plot...
one of the best movies on the planet
Talk about digging a hole. Helen is a dope talk about needy.
When movies were movies!
Mickey Rooney was one of the finest and talented actors in Hollywood. Bar none. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This guy is one cheese filled rat trap after another, and he keeps getting snapped.
What a gem!!!
Saw first flick of MICKEY, HOOKED UP...
Thank you for posting, these films were wonderful, good acting, with a moral in each film, first time I have seen Mickey Rooney as a ssort of Baddy..
This was such an entertaining film. I just discovered that, according to information on IMDb, Mickey Rooney actually co-financed "Quicksand" with Peter Lorre, which is interesting.
Having Peter Lorre in just about anything makes it worth watching to begin with for me, and Mickey Rooney was enough of a sympathetic character to keep my attention invested in the story.
I suspect that many guys can relate to the domino effect of one financial mishap after the other - as I've personally been, recently, as well, though I haven't had to resort to anything like Rooney's character did. Perhaps, that's what compelled me, subliminally, to look up this particular film online at two o'clock in the morning - which was perfect to watch with eggs over medium, toast and a cup of tea. It was definitely great story for this time of night (or, morning), overall.
By the way, if anyone else watched this film with Closed Captioning (or, tried to), you most likely noticed the inaccuracies in the phrasing, which were so bad at times that they were funny. I had to turn them off to maintain any semblance of continuity at one point.
As for my first time in seeing "Quicksand," it was on TCM, many years ago. Thankfully, I found that it was included on a Film Noir DVD collection which I later purchased, though the film quality was quite weathered. Regardless of the scratches and such (which gave it a vintage character) it was still watchable.
Another film that I can recommend, in relation to this one, though they're both individualized productions, is called "Detour." I'm rather certain that it's on CZcams somewhere. My original copy of it, also included on the aforementioned Film Noir Collection, was quite damaged, though it has since been restored through Criterion, which I purchased last year.
Anyway, thanks for reading this comment, and long live the art of Film Noir. :)
Quicksand is a very apt title for this film, Micky Rooney's character borrows $20 dollars from the cash register, then his original attempt to return it just sends him spiralling deeper and deeper into the abyss. 😂😂
Lots of fun. Rooney is a great entertainer. Musicals, comedy, drama, whatever.
Wow the domino effect..Consequences
This guy sure knows how to get into trouble. The dame was the start of it all
100K subscribers!!! Congrats CCC and hugs (at a safe distance) to all of you!
This is good film ,excellent story line., how quickly someone can get into trouble!!! He was not very clever to do what he started!!
The movie isn't called "Quicksand" for no reason, the more he struggles the deeper I'm trouble he gets!,
That's what they all say about taking money from the cash register.
Mickey Rooney and Peter Lorrie in the same movie. Now we need Boris Karloff , and Vincent Price.
@@johnbockelie3899 L😀 L but I'm with you when you're right 2-14-2021
One of my all time favorite MR movies.
Makes the thankful for the blessings of a quiet obedient life. 😊😉
Mickey Rooney was an amazing Actor who sadly was subjected to elderly abuse in his last years.
He was touring on stage in England some 15 years ago, in his eighties.
@@None-zc5vg He appeared before the United States Congress to offer his insights on the elderly abuse he had been subjected to in his later years.
Amazing story told by Mickey Rooney when he was quite frail. Louis B. Mayer would have been proud.
Excellent movie and excellent video quality. Thanks a lot.
Don't miss Drive a Crooked Road, from about 4 years later. Mickey was a phenomenal actor. Some who know their stuff say he was one of the very best, maybe the best. For sheer screen power, I think Cagney takes the cake, but Mickey is right up there, and he may have had more versatility than any of 'em.
i agree. both actors make you watch them right till the end.
Loved Rooney playing "Baby Face Nelson" with Caolyn Jones.
The landlady was just brilliant!!! Great film - really well acted by Mickey Rooney and Jeanne Cagney.
I haven’t watched it yet, but having seen the cast list, can only guess that the landlady was played by Minerva Urecal who was great in everything she did. Nice to see her talent appreciated!
I like Jeanne but can't 'unsee' her brother. Lol.
Muy buena película, no la había visto. Me encantan los clásicos. Cómo siempre excelente actuación del gran actor Mickey Rooney. Desde Argentina gracias por subirla.
Thank you for this, a well done really enjoyable movie 🙂... Kind regards fr 🇨🇦
What a role, I'm wild for Mickey Rooney. Luckily this was my first time catching this flick ,that's a rarity for me being an old movie buff.
Me also!
I have a huge collection of films from the early 30s until the late 50s.... I keep finding ones on CZcams I’ve never seen before!
Guess I need to collect more 🌷
Superb movie Acting, Direction, Cinematography all around high quality film. Also this copy is one of or the best copies I have seen anywhere. Thank you. You are appreciated by many.
QUICKSAND...WOW!!!
Excellent everything and just so well done.
Never step into the scary stuff...
Love 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡 it, Thank You!!!
Aaah! What wonderful fare for a Sunday morning amid this chaotic-coruna-crap. Thanking you big time CCC for doing God's work and helping us keep our sanity.
This movie is 70 years old, however suckers are timeless.
One of my favorite Mickey Rooney movies of all time! 👍👍
Always loved MR in movies especially with Judy Garland. Oh...I guess $20 went a long way in those days but it got him into a lot of trouble for nothing.
$220 in today's money
Mickey Rooney and Jeanne Cagney have some acting chops here.
Amazing movie. Mickey Rooney was great here.
Good movie!! Seen it twice already!!💕
Pobre Danny! Se empolgou com uma mulher que não valia nem 1 dólar, e acabou quase tirando a vida de alguém, indo parar na cadeia, ou também morrendo. Felizmente nada disso aconteceu!
O "maneiríssimo" Mickey Rooney, foi um proeminente ator, independente do tipo físico, oposto ao padrão do galã hollywoodiano.
O baixinho que já nasceu pronto, passou por cima dessa situação que tanto constrangeu alguns! Seu talento nas telas, tornava-o belo e grande!
Esse filme possui um roteiro de ótimo suspense. Só relaxei quando foi confirmado que o patrão de Danny não morrera e ele saiu apenas ferido, na final! Portanto, digamos que o eufórico e inconsequente Danny Boy, acabou mal/bem! Nota 10 para esse filme!
@cultcinemaclassics=THANKS and I noticed NO COMMENTER mentioned JAMES CAGNEYS SISTER was that BLOND LADY!!! She made a few movies around late 40s tru early 50s and then dissapeared!!! MICKEY GREAT as usual!!
Man I loved that film 🇬🇧😁👍
Excellent film qui fait la démonstration qu'un petit délit peut entrainer dans un labyrinthe sans sortie... tout est bon, le scénario,, les acteurs.. tout..
That's Jimmy Dodd in the opening scenes, the later/soon-to-be head "mousekateer" of Disney's old Micky Mouse Club tv show..
Good one!
Thank you fit sharing this old movie
It’s always so odd seeing Mickey Rooney as a love interest! Nothing good looking about him , he was a good actor though 🌷
And he was married to Ava Gardner. He must have something ,
@@sharonmehaffey5539 SHE must have needed glasses (either that or she was wearing 40/20 lenses)
@@sharonmehaffey5539 Ava used Rooney as a come up. She was barely 19 yrs old. And who wouldn't marry a rich top box office mega celebrity while being young and trying to get your own foot in the door?
Great movie thanks for posting
Mickey Rooney was really, a great actor.
Wow, cant imagine this worked out well, great movie
From petty theft to grand theft to (possible) murder😲...talk about one spinning out of control in record time🙃
