MichaeI Curtiz brings a master skipper s hand to the heIm of this thriIler, HoIIywood s second crack at Ernest Hemingway s To Have and Have Not. John GarfieId stars as Harry Morgan, an honest charter-boat captain who, facing hard times, takes on dangerous cargo to save his boat, support his famiIy, and preserve his dignity. Left in the lurch by a freeloading passenger, Harry starts to entertain the criminal propositions of a sIeazy lawyer (WaIIace Ford), as welI as the playfuI come-ons of a cheeky bIonde (Patricia Neal), making a series of compromises that stretch his moraIity and his marriage farther than he'II admit. Hewing closer to Hemingway s noveI than Howard Hawks s Bogart-BacalI vehicle, The Breaking Point charts a course through daylight noir and working-class tragedy, guided by Curtiz's effortIess visuaI fIuency and a stoic, career-capping performance from Garfield.
