		Criterion's DVD of Pickup on South Street is the first older title in their new arrangement with Fox, the deal that's already given us Naked Lunch and is promising dream titles like Robert Altman's exquisite 3 Women.

	Pickup On South Street - Criterion DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		And at Fox you always had the feeling of being confined in a very narrow playing field that was the stage for the film; spaces were small and claustrophobic, backgrounds were scarce while the camera focused on the scenes' players in more intense lighting than any other studio would use.
		Richard Widmark almost immediately was at loggerheads with independent producer/director Samuel Fuller, who instead of being impressed by the cocky Fox star wiped the superior grin of the actors face by seemingly giving in immediately to his demands at a drop of a head - thus baffling Widmark to the point of insecurity.
		And on "Pickup" the result is an almost flawless image that even on the 120-inch big screen with the best equipment gives you the satisfaction of watching film - not video, even letting you forget most of the times that what you see is NOT 35mm.

	Pickup on South Street - DVD Movie Central
		Pickup on South Street is a shining example of Fuller in his prime, when he still had studio confidence, cash to play with, and a fearless, stubborn approach to what he wanted to bring to the screen.
		This 1953 classic was film noir kicked up a notch: like all movies in the genre, it was filled with shady characters, a damsel in distress, and a bleak sense of morality, but when Fuller was at the helm, the stakes became higher, the message more prevalent, and the sex appeal steamier.
		Pickup on South Street is pulp matter served up in a noir style that both tells an entertaining story and expresses its director’s personal vision unashamedly at the same time.

	Pickup On South Street (1953)
		She's been made love to in a dream but now that she's crossing a crowded street, her reality is her intended dropoff, another rendez vous in which she is a dupe.
		When she enters the vaulted lobby of a commercial building, checks her handbag, discovers her purse has been stolen, she knows instinctively who the thief is...
		Very much a Cold War psychodrama, Pickup On South Street sees small-time hoods as heroes united against the new criminal threat to society, the communist hoodlum.

		Pickup on South Street is a good introduction to Fuller's tabloid world in all its breezy improbability.
		Pickup was also a regular fixture on top ten lists of film noir before feminist intervention in that discussion made a femme fatale mandatory for the category.
		Pickup is assembled from standard pulp fiction components: situations, stock characters, conventions, cliches, attitudes, images, gestures, actions, and relationships.

		The violence in Pickup On South Street is minimal, which adds to the impact of what does happen.

		Pick Up On South Street is the canvass that reveals urban realism painted in its most flest and whitest.
		Manhattan's apartments, streets, subways, and harbor are masterfully landscaped into a montage of darkened shadows highlighted by light grays and luminious whites.
		Jean Peters is equally convincing as the street tough who conceals her vunerability with a tight dress and a loose mouth.

	"Cape Town Affair" by Joseph Heumann and Robin Murray (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Fuller’s Pickup on South Street, set in New York City, fits the early 1950s milieu in which he sets the film, since it draws so strongly on the Cold War paranoia and fear of communist espionage.
		Pickup on South Street, the 1953 Fuller film, works well in its urban 50s noir setting, with the Red scare and cold-war paranoia seeming to drive its fervor.
		Ironically, Pickup on South Street was distributed in France with significant changes soon after its 1953 release, even thought it was not remade until 1967 — in South Africa.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Pickup on South Street: The Criterion Collection
		Fuller's Pickup on South Street (1953) may rank behind Shock Corridor (1963) and The Naked Kiss (1964) with his ardent devotees, but it's perhaps his most accessible film, in addition to being a snappy slice of vintage noir.
		Even then, Fuller still has the capacity to surprise — Candy's brutal beating at the hands of Joey, Joey's escape from a surrounded building via a cramped dumbwaiter, and the sweeping camerawork during the final confrontation seem as fresh today as they were half a century ago.
		Pickup on South Street, a Criterion Collection release by arrangement with Fox, offers a clean full-frame transfer (1.33:1 OAR) from a nearly pristine source-print that captures the finest details, particularly during dramatic closeups.

		The digital mono track on Pickup on South Street is what it is. A track from the fifties that has good sound effects and clear dialogue amongst the actors as well as a solid score.
		Criterion and Fox, the championship tag team of DVD, come away with another healthy assortment of extras for Pickup on South Street and even though there is no commentary on the film, there is a few other things that make up for it's absence.
		First off is an interview (would love to know when this was recorded) conducted by Richard Schickel with Sam Fuller talking about Pickup on South Street and Fuller, with cigar in hand and great knowledge, chats up about filmmaking, his time at Fox, the characters in the film and the development of the project.

	The Very Best VHS : Pickup on South Street
		Director Sam Fuller's biggest success of its time (and, superficially at least, his most conventional film) is the 1953 noir effort Pickup on South Street.
		Candy (Jean Peters) has her purse picked on the subway by small-time thief and ex-con Skip (Richard Widmark), neither of them realizing that the purse contains microfilm bound for Communist spies and that they are being watched the whole time by Federal agents.
		The closing scene when Skip tracks down another character in the subway and administers a brutal beating to him is one of the more violent scenes you'll find in '50s film noir.

		I've reviewed many Noir films from the 40's and 50's, "Maltese Falcon" to the B film "Detour," and loved them all, and don't get me wrong, POSS held me all the way through; the problem with this film is it's ugly misogamy, which unfortunately lives on to some extent in the film industry.
		Director Sam Fuller operating in the midst of the Cold War with a low budget comes up a tad short in his film noir crime drama "Pickup on South Street".
		While the camera work and sordid settings in Lower Manhattan greatly add to the viewing quality of the film the interrelationship between characters were an unbelievable fairy tale.

	DVD Verdict Review - Pickup On South Street: Criterion Collection
		One of the great forgotten gems of the 1950s, Sam Fuller's Pickup on South Street is a top-shelf noir that, more than 50 years after its initial release, still plays like gangbusters.
		When it was released in 1953, Pickup on South Street was lambasted (albeit unfairly) by political critics from both the left and the right.
		Other films in the same vein may have the same technical competence, but lack the fascinating dynamic created by Fuller's emphasis on characters instead of types, and his steadfast adherence to the idea that it's the relationships, not the style, that form the backbone of the story.

		But he was a contract player, and he was assigned to "Pickup on South Street", and he's terrific in it.
		The film's major themes are the sadomasochistic relationship that develops between Skip and Candy and the validity -or not- of the concept of patriotism among petty criminals.
		The DVD (Criterion Collection 2004): "Sam Fuller on Pickup on South Street" (19 minutes) is an interview by film critic Richard Schiekel filmed in the last years of Fuller's life.

		Such intensity may seem incongruous with the grace of most prestigious film noir melodramas, but one must not forget that the genre is the offspring of hardboiled fiction, an unsentimental tradition bred from tabloid journalism and tough-minded heroes.
		Pickup's only flaw is its reliance on the Red Scare as a plot device.
		Yet, Pickup on South Street's raw energy prevails; it is Samuel Fuller's most heralded work and one of film noir's greatest thrillers.

		The South African holdings proved to be sitting on valuable pieces of real estate, so they were sold back to their original owners, the Schlesinger Brothers.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Pickup on South Street
		It's probably blasphemy, but I'll say it anyway: Pickup on South Street is simply an unremarkable film noir.
		Samuel Fuller, best known for his masterful psycho-ward thriller Shock Corridor, made Pickup because he (per his interview on the new Criterion DVD) wanted to get inside the mind of the pickpocket, show how he lives, and really show the audience what he's all about.
		But Pickup on South Street ends up as too far-fetched to take seriously and too frivolous to merit much more of our attention than this.
