If you ever long for the more innocent days of the past, watch this one to remind yourself they weren’t so innocent.
John Garfield makes being a drifter look like a good life choice when his character, Frank, wanders into a service station operated by the drop-dead beautiful Cora (Lana Turner). Sadly — there’s always a complication, isn’t there? — she runs it with her husband.
Frank and Cora work out a scheme that goes great… until it doesn’t.
