Mickey One

Arthur Penn directs this 1960s crime drama starring Warren Beatty.

When an unremarkable stand-up comedian finds himself on the wrong side of the Mafia he flees Detroit for Chicago and takes on the identity of 'Mickey One' (Beatty), a name picked up from a stolen social security card.

In Chicago, Mickey lies low, living a rough life in an attempt to avoid being hunted down by the Mob.

Despite these fears, Mickey eventually finds himself drawn to the stage once again, but knowing any level of publicity will likely lead the Mafia straight to him, just how long can he continue to evade capture?
