With a few skeletons in his closet, namely a possible murder that he seems to have committed in a drunken haze, guilty longshoreman Bobo takes an isolated bait barge gig only to find the roughest waters lie ahead. Bobo rescues the beautiful Anna from an attempted suicide and falls in love with her in short order. But when his clingy compadre Tiny feels threatened, Tiny decides to use Bobo's unsavory past as blackmail fodder to keep the new girl from getting the best of his mate. Charles G. Clarke's stark, Oscar-nominated cinematography heightens this tense poetic realist drama, which Austrian director Fritz Lang (METROPOLIS) had a hand in making before dropping out early in the production. French arthouse superstar makes his English-language debut and is joined by Ida Lupino, Thomas Mitchell, and Claude Rains.
