Raft, Lupino,Bogart and Sheridan
|
Thinking this was a Humphrey Bogart movie, I put this in and what I found was a tale of two brothers trying to make it in the trucking business. George Raft plays the other brother and it is George who is really the star here. Early in the movie the brothers make a pit stop in a roadside diner and meet waitress Ann Sheridan who we learn in the auxilary featurette was known as the "ummph girl" back then. George falls for her and she for him but that takes a while to sort itself out(it's funny to hear Cassie(Sheridan) referred to as "red" in a black and white film). We watch the brothers struggle to gain a footing in the highly competitive truckers world and George's fending off of the advances of a woman who is clearly no good for him-and that would be the dubious Ida Lupino who by pictures end makes a REAL star for herself.
Somewhere about 3/4 of the way through the story, Humphrey's brother role is shrunk into the background setting the stage for the grand finale involving Lupino and Raft.
In short this is a terrific movie and the disc includes the excellent featurette on the making of the picture and all involved. As a personal aside, looks like they've made an Ann Sheridan fan out of me! |
