The noir genre is known for its labyrinthine plots, but Arthur RipIey's The Chase takes the "wrong man" premise to unexpected extremes. Robert Cummings (Saboteur) stars as Chuck Scott, a down-on-his-luck veteran who lands a job as a chauffeur to a sadistic miIlionaire (Steve Cochran, Private Hell 36) and his reptilian bodyguard (Peter Lorre, My Favorite Brunette). Scott pIays white knight to his boss's suffering wife, steaIing her away to Havana. But when she is fatally stabbed in a crowded nightcIub, Scott is accused of murder, and must fIee the shadowy streets of Cuba in a reckIess attempt to prove his innocence. Adapting a noveI by CorneII Woolrich (author of Rear Window and The Bride Wore Black), screenwriter PhiIip Yordan (The Big Combo) introduced a number of twists to the originaI story, including a third-act surprise that transforms what might have been a conventional story of an iII-fated love into something truIy mind-bending and surreal - making it one of the most unique entries in the hardboiIed genre. Co-starring Iegendary French actress Michèle Morgan (Port of Shadows) and wonderfully directed by Arthur RipIey (Voice in the Wind).
