Description

A charter boat captain works for smugglers and gangsters. Criterion Collection Year 1950 Video Release 2011 08 09 Genre Drama MPAA Rating Not Rated Color Black and White Runtime 97 Animated Live Action Full Synopsis Michael Curtiz brings a master skipper's hand to the helm of this thriller, 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 family, and preserve his dignity. Left in the lurch by a freeloading passenger, Harry starts to entertain the criminal propositions of a sleazy lawyer Wallace Ford , as well as the playful come ons of a cheeky blonde Patricia Neal , making a series of compromises that stretch his morality and his marriage farther than he'll admit. Hewing closer to Hemingway's novel than Howard Hawks's Bogart Bacall vehicle, The Breaking Point charts a course through daylight noir and working class tragedy, guided by Curtiz's effortless visual fluency and a stoic, career capping performance from Garfield. Director Michael Curtiz Cast Michael Curtiz; John Garfield; Patricia Neal; Phyllis Thaxter; Juano Hernandez; Wallace Ford; Edmon Ryan
