They plan on staying only until midnight as Griffin is awaiting his girlfriend who will meet them with some money he had stashed away.

Wow, I didn't even know about this movie... thanks so much!

Can I make yet another request? I'm looking for Welles' Macbeth (1948), never watched it and it's supposed to be absolutely great...
