Directed by Archie Mayo • 1942 • United States
Starring Jean Gabin, Ida Lupino, Thomas Mitchell
French screen legend Jean Gabin made his Hollywood debut in this broodingly fatalistic noir melodrama. He stars as an alcoholic dockworker who, following a night of heavy drinking, wakes up with no memory of what happened—but with evidence that he may have killed a man. Now being blackmailed for murder, he finds refuge in the arms of a suicidal waitress (Ida Lupino) who may also be able to uncover the truth about what happened. Celebrated writer John O’Hara furnished the script, while Charles G. Clarke earned an Oscar nomination for his moody cinematography.
