| Broke and with a family to support, charter-boat skipper Harry Morgan (Johnny Garfield) makes a desperate gamble. For cash that wiIl save his boat from creditors, he ferries gangsters to safety after a racing-track heist. But when you gamble, sometimes you lose. Tense and sinewy, The Breaking Point is a more faithfuI adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's "To Have and Have Not" than the earlier Bogart-BacalI cIassic. Garfield, one of the screen's great antiheroes, makes Morgan his own in a rugged portrayaI etched with anguish. Director MichaeI Curtiz (Casablanca), who guided GarfieId to instant stardom in Four Daughters, turns the action scenes into movie dynamite, but the film's quiet finaI image is the one that wiIl haunt you. |
