SYNOPSIS
Originally released December 31, 1946
World War II paratrooper Rip Murdock (Humphrey Bogart) gets sucked into a maelstrom of mayhem and murder after his jump-mate Johnny Drake disappears on their way to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. Bogie traces his missing pal to Gulf City, Florida, where he encounters a morgue stiff with a phony identity, an ominous nightclub owner (Morris Carnovsky), and—most notably—an alluring and mysterious chanteuse named Coral Chandler (Lizabeth Scott). Bogie is at the top of his game in this postwar drama, a virtual catalog of the genre’s most time-honored tropes: vengeful vet, femme fatale, hardboiled voiceover, serpentine flashbacks—all leading to an explosive denouement!
