Joe Norson, a poor letter carrier with a sweet pregnant wife, yields to momentary temptation and steals $30,000 belonging to a pair of ruthless blackmailers who won't stop at murder. After a few days of soul-searching, Joe offers to return the money, only to find that the "friend" he left it with has absconded. Now every move Joe makes plunges him deeper into trouble, as he pursues and gets pursued through the shadowy, sinister side of New York.

Side Street Ratings & Reviews

  • springer666December 7, 2025
    When it comes to noirs with "Street" in their title, this one's the worst! Judged on its own merits, however, "Side Street" is pretty good!
  • Mister ArnMay 21, 2025
    "Side Street" is well made, but the main character lacks consistency, making the film less enjoyable.
