He Ran All The Way (1951)

Nick Robey is a two-bit hood, whose insecurity, superstitiousness and skitterishness make him an ineffective criminal. He lives with his slattern of a mother, who doesn't care what happens to him, he in turn who feels the same about her. Nick and his associate Al Molin have planned a targeted mugging, their victim who will be carrying a large cache of cash for a payroll. In the mugging gone wrong, Nick is forced to go on the run, he only remembering Al's advice to blend into the crowd to avoid suspicion and thus capture. In blending into the crowd, Nick meets Peg Dobbs, a working class, inexperienced and thus equally insecure young woman who he, in wooing, believes he can use to his advantage. In the process, Nick meets Peg's parents and her kid brother Tommy with who she lives. Nick and each of the four members of the Dobbs family have to decide how far they will go with the other and/or risk to get out of their respective predicaments, Nick's whose changes with time and the ever changing nature of the outcome of the mugging. The four Dobbs may end up at odds with each other, each who may have a different perspective of what is best for them as a collective.
