They Drive by Night

Crime Drama Thriller

1940, Movie, 1h 35min

Humphrey Bogart and George Raft share a driving ambition in this feisty tale of brothers trying to make a go of their independent trucking enterprise. After ten years of the Great Depression, scrappy Joe (Raft) and Paul Fabrini (Bogart) are still—just barely—in business. Paul dreams of spending more time with his wife, while Joe has his eye on truck-stop waitress Cassie Hartley (Ann Sheridan). Trouble ensues when Paul loses an arm in an accident and can no longer drive, while Joe gets mixed up in a murderous entanglement with the wife (Ida Lupino) of his main rival. Lupino’s courtroom scene of babbling derangement made her an overnight sensation and landed her a seven-year studio contract.
