Director Ben Hecht brings to life the world of loners, two-bit hustlers and has-beens that populate Times Square. Bill O' Brien (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.) plans to swindle a suicidal thief, but then plots with call girl Nina Barone (Rita Hayworth) to turn his life around. A great cast headlines an unusually black comedy for its time. Academy Award Nominations: Best Original Screenplay.
