He stood, straight as an oak, while he boiled over. "This [rules] committee has no authority . . . EPT is nothing but an unlawful bandit cutting the throats of industry . . .

Pickup on South Street (20th Century-Fox) is a 90-minute muscle-flexing exercise in violence. A pickpocket (Richard Widmark) slaps a former roadhouse entertainer (Jean Peters) in the teeth, knocks her out with a right to the jaw, and revives her by pouring a bottle of beer in her face. The B-girl retaliates by conking him over the head with another beer bottle. A Communist spy (Richard Kiley) beats up and shoots the girl, hits a cop over the head with a pistol, and kills an eccentric old necktie peddler (Thelma Ritter). The pickpocket knocks...
