Mickey Rooney can play any role no matter how tough or funny or musical. Remember Andy Hardy, ? He did a great job, !!! VERY moralistic movie. Felt for him the whole time as he dug himself in deeper n deeper, hence the title "Quicksand, "!!! Good film noir, !!!

Great movie. I'd watched it before a few years back but I got the subscriber alert and thought if Peter Lorre's in it, im in. Loved it. Thanks!

Compelling movie, good actors, Rooney is really cast against type but well played. Thank you for uploading.

Barbara Bates was a tragic beauty. Love her in the ending of one of my very favorite movies All About Eve.

Esta es, buenisima, no, lo siguiente. Mi favorira de Rooney junto a la de Baby Face Nelson. Una pena que no cuente con los substitulos integrados. Pero igualmente gracias por ofrecerla. Es una joyita.
