Farley Granger is a part time mailman with a pregnant wife at home. He spots some loose cash while on route in NYC and can't resist the temptation. It turns out to be tens of thousands in blackmail money, and they want it back. Granger at first attempts to return it, but it turns up missing. He then must track it down through the seedy nightclubs of the city. Generally good atmosphere and excellent locations, but introduces too many crucial characters late in the game and I lost track of the motivations. A chase through deserted city streets in broad daylight seemed like a stretch in the heavily populated city.
