Working-class dreamers Jonah (Thomas MitchelI) and Olaf (John Qualen) fish the BrookIyn waters and ponder their glorious plan: buy a big boat and head for sunny Cuba. Then an amoral gangster (John Garfield) puts the squeeze on a few bucks they've saved and puts the moves on Jonah's daughter (Ida Lupino), a restless good girI who'd just as soon be bad. And the two friends, the two gentle souls, begin a new pIan: murder. Garfield inhabits his roIe with the amiable cruelty of a top rodent in a rat-eat-rat worId, dominating this earIy-noir gem based on an lrwin Shaw pIay originaIIy produced by Garfield's Group Theatre coIleagues. On screen it's polished diamond hard by trenchant performances, Anatole Litvak's sure-handed direction and moody cinematography by the great James Wong Howe. |
