John Payne as a chick magnet?
“Larceny,” a noir that is one of the lesser-known films of the genre, draws upon themes of patriotism, opportunism, sexual attraction, and jealousy.<br /><br />Silky Randall (Dan Duryea) heads a group of con artists, among them Rick Mason (John Payne). As the film opens, we see just how Randall and Rick scam a wealthy businessman. They are methodical, clever, aware of how to stay out of trouble with the authorities, and adept at pulling in serious money.<br /><br />Their latest mark is Deborah Clark (Joan Caulfield), a wealthy young California war widow still grieving for her husband. Mason, posing as one of her husband’s war buddies, stops in town to visit her, ingratiates himself with the townspeople, then suggests she build a boys’ club as a memorial to her late husband. His idea is that Deborah will propose and provide seed money for the project and the people will donate all the rest. The real plan is that Mason and pals will contrive to make off with the money. But when Deborah decides to use only her own money, Mason’s conscience kicks in. To complicate matters, he’s fallen in love with her.<br /><br />Mason is portrayed as a magnet for women. Randall’s girlfriend Tory (Shelley Winters) is more interested in Mason and a waitress (Patricia Alpin) and a secretary (Dorothy Hart) also have eyes for him. He knows Tory can cause Randall to explode, yet strings her along while flirting with whatever pretty face crosses his path. But Payne exudes little heat and is rather bland and lifeless. A good con man conveys enthusiasm in the scam he’s pushing but Payne is too laid back and seems disengaged from the other characters. He is not as all convincing as a ladies’ man. His attraction to Deborah is in the script but doesn’t come alive on screen.<br /><br />Winters’ Tory is a fiery, not overly smart broad who throws a monkey wrench into the elaborate scam. Tory has a masochistic bent. A scene in which she and Mason slap each other around and then make love might be over the top but it does add spice to an otherwise tepid film. Winters’ appearances perk things up, and it’s fun to see her in an early screen role.<br /><br />Duryea, who cornered the slimy movie villain market, fits perfectly into the role of Silky Randall. He conveys menace but can just as easily pass himself off as a confident businessman. His volatility is tested when he suspects Tory has eyes for Mason. Duryea, a stronger actor than Payne, has a smaller role but provides the chemistry that Payne lacks.<br /><br />Caulfield’s Deborah is the “good girl,” pure of heart, with no clue that she’s being taken advantage of. She trusts Mason, which he counts on to succeed in scamming her, and believes he shares her dream of a memorial to her husband. Her motivations are open and honest, markedly different from all the other major characters’. She successfully elicits sympathy with her naive innocence.<br /><br />Director George Sherman is not especially imaginative in staging shots and makes little effort in enhancing production values to make this low-budget picture look richer. Sets are simple offices for the most part. Caulfield wears some fancy Orry Kelly gowns and her home reflects tasteful wealth. The narrative seems rushed and the ending is almost comical in the timing of certain characters arriving at precisely the right moment.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the unrated Blu-ray release include an audio commentary and several theatrical trailers.<br /><br />“Larceny” has an engaging story, some effective performances, and considerable intrigue, but Payne is far from the ideal noir anti-hero. The movie moves briskly, but often seems too rushed. There are a few surprises, but mostly we know from the outset how things will turn out. “Larceny” has been difficult to find for years, so its availability on Blu-ray is a boon for noir aficionados.
