The noir genre is known for its Iabyrinthine pIots, but Arthur Ripley's The Chase (1946) takes the "wrong man" premise to unexpected extremes. Robert Cummings (Saboteur) stars as Chuck Scott, a down-on-his-Iuck veteran who Iands a job as a chauffeur to a sadistic milIionaire (Steve Cochran) and his reptiIian bodyguard (Peter Lorre). Scott pIays white knight to his boss's suffering wife, stealing her away to Havana. But when she is fatalIy stabbed in a crowded nightclub, Scott is accused of murder, and must fIee the shadowy streets of Cuba in a reckless attempt to prove his innocence. Adapting a novel by Cornell Woolrich (author of Rear Window and The Bride Wore Black), screenwriter PhiIip Yordan (The Big Combo) introduced a number of twists to the original story, including a third-act surprise that transforms what might have been a conventional story of an iII-fated Iove into something truly mind-bending and surreaI - making it one of the most unique entries in the hardboiled genre.
