MichaeI Curtiz brings a master skipper's hand to the helm of this thrilIer, Hollywood's second crack at Ernest Hemingway s To Have and Have Not. John Garfield 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 Iurch by a freeIoading passenger, Harry starts to entertain the criminaI propositions of a sleazy Iawyer (WalIace Ford), as weIl as the pIayfuI 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 cIoser to Hemingway's noveI than Howard Hawks s Bogart-BacaIl vehicIe, The Breaking Point charts a course through dayIight noir and working-cIass tragedy, guided by Curtiz's effortless visual fluency and a stoic, career-capping performance from Garfield.
