Quicksand is one of Mickey's finest films. Thanks for the upload.

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.

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

I love movies with Peter Lorre in them. Mickey Rooney was a cross between a find character actor and leading man.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent cast, excellent story, excellent acting, all combined to make this an excellent movie.

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.

Great little movie. Never saw before til now. One of the best Mickey Rooney movies I've ever seen.

Since I cut the cord. I don’t have TCM. Well, this channel gets me what I’ve been missing. Thanks ❗️😃

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!

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.

Thank you ! A true gem ! Mickey is a real Actor in this movie and it was a wonderful surprise 🌟

A beautiful noir with a happy ending, the kind that you usually don’t see. I LOVED IT! ❤🎉🎉🎉

I love that he just keeps sinking further and further into trouble. Living up to the title.

Mickey plays a jerk so well. Love the nuance. Great acting by Lorre, first and then Mickey. Great film noir !

The girl with brown hair was ten times better looking then the blonde bird.

I've watched this a few times over the years. A near perfect flick that just gets better. Thanks!

The bad girl is so bad and the good girl so good. Mickey is such a goof. This is perfect! Thanks!

And 20 years later, Mickey Rooney went from hardened criminal to Santa Claus in a Rankin / Bass Christmas special. What a guy haha

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!

Nice to see the old Santa Monica. The old pier had a small fishing town feeling.

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😊

James Cagney's sister does a good job. Rooney is excellent.

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.

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. 😂😂

That lawyer was remarkably sympathetic in the circumstances, almsot incredibly so! Good film.

A man doesn't know what he has until he loses it

I love these old shows. That's real acting Mickey Roonie.

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.

I didn't know Mickey Rooney did dramatic roles. He's great in this picture!

How quickly things spiralled out of control! Never the less a very enjoyable watch.

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?!?😢

They named this movie well. The old pinball and arcade games are works of art too.

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

It was a good movie I have never seen it till now , Thank you for sharing

I think that is one of Mickys best movies

Very good movie. Love Mickey Rooney in this and didnt realize the scope of his talent.

Mickey Rooney was one of the finest and talented actors in Hollywood. Bar none. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wow the term quicksand describes this movie perfectly.

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.

one of the best movies on the planet

GOOD MOVIE 🎥! I love film noir movies!❤ These old movies are so good!

Boy, Jimmy Cagne's sister was a bigger gangster than him, lol. Nice, little script with a moral. Thanks for uploading.

That escalated quickly.

Yeah, I've watched this again tonight - and shall again many more times, to be sure. Love it: love Rooney, Lorre and Cagney together.

What a gem!!! Saw first flick of MICKEY, HOOKED UP...

This movie is giving me anxiety. Dude is caught in a trap of his own making. I almost can't watch anymore.

every move he makes, gets him deeper into trouble- and then comes a girl who loves him to rescue him. Nice plot...

One of my all time favorite MR movies.

Love how he mugs someone and cops are instantly there.

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 KZfaq 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. :)

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!

Wow the domino effect..Consequences

When movies were movies!

All that spiral just a HOT mess!! Lol

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.

@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!!

Never seen a movie with Mickey Rooney in it that was lousy. Another gem from the 1950s. Recommended: Requiem For A Heavyweight. 1950something. Anthony Quinn. Mickey Rooney. Jackie Gleason. You just can't beat these movies from the 1950s. Far better than most of the modern claptrap.

Lots of fun. Rooney is a great entertainer. Musicals, comedy, drama, whatever.

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..

Mickey Rooney was an amazing Actor who sadly was subjected to elderly abuse in his last years.

One of my favorite Mickey Rooney movies of all time! 👍👍

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.

I understand the need for ads, but every 4 or 5 minutes? Jeezuz, so annoying. I can guarantee I will not buy any of those products even if I needed them! Oh, and thumbs down because of it. Tell your advertisers to stop exaggerating.

Talk about digging a hole. Helen is a dope talk about needy.

Makes the thankful for the blessings of a quiet obedient life. 😊😉

This guy sure knows how to get into trouble. The dame was the start of it all

Whenever I think of Mickey Rooney, I always think of him as, despite its controversy, Mr. Yunioshi from Breakfast At Tiffany's.

Mickey Rooney and Jeanne Cagney have some acting chops here.

Amazing movie. Mickey Rooney was great here.

The landlady was just brilliant!!! Great film - really well acted by Mickey Rooney and Jeanne Cagney.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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..

This is good film ,excellent story line., how quickly someone can get into trouble!!! He was not very clever to do what he started!!

Man I loved that film 🇬🇧😁👍

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.

QUICKSAND...WOW!!! Excellent everything and just so well done. Never step into the scary stuff... Love 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡 it, Thank You!!!

Mickey was a good little actor

Excellent movie and excellent video quality. Thanks a lot.

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 🌷

Great noir flick, with an evil blonde moll and a slimy arcade operator, until the last twenty minutes when we get a lawyer with a heart of gold and a beautiful ditsy girl in love with a midget mechanic 🤣🤣🤣

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".

Good movie!! Seen it twice already!!💕

From petty theft to grand theft to (possible) murder😲...talk about one spinning out of control in record time🙃 Desperation's dastardly deeds😕....Thx for upload; enjoyable film😉...✌❤🕯

Mickey Rooney was really, a great actor.

Thank you for this, a well done really enjoyable movie 🙂... Kind regards fr 🇨🇦
