Saturday Man Movie

In The Pickup (1953), movie tough guy Richard Widmark plays a small-time New York City pick-pocket who gets caught up in a communist plot. Hey, in the 1950's, even low-level crooks hated commies.

  3. Wow, you had me scared there for a moment when I saw the opening scene in the men's room.

    I thought it might have been from the 2007 remake starring Larry Craig...
