The Man In The Back Seat - 1961 - 6/10

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” Wilde

Joe, bookie at the dog track, counts his earnings before heading home.
Joe never sees them, the two thugs who knock him unconscious then shove him into the car.
The story is now their’s, the two punks.
Tony and Frank, who drive all over London while Joe, handcuffed to his earnings, slowly bleeds out.
Compact Noir follows two losers, layabout schemer and spineless friend, down Dead End Alley.
Lady Luck, gracing them with one score, turns her back, and they hit one rotten break after another.
Brief, bleak, dark.
