Synopsis
Thieves' Highway (1949) is a hard-boiled film noir from director Jules Dassin you can watch online on iFILM. War veteran Nick Garcos comes home to find that a corrupt San Francisco produce dealer crippled his father.
Nick loads a truck with apples and drives through the night into the city — partly for the money, partly to settle the score with racketeer Mike Figlia. The road turns into a trap of double-crosses, and Rica, the streetwalker hired to distract him, ends up on his side instead. Richard Conte and Lee J. Cobb trade blows with barely a pause.
A.I. Bezzerides wrote the script from his own novel Thieves' Market, drawing on a world of all-night haulers he actually knew. Not long after, Dassin was blacklisted in Hollywood and left to work in Europe. A sweaty, unsentimental piece for anyone who loves early noir with the gloss stripped off.
