Directed by Hugo Fregonese • 1950 • United States
Starring James Mason, Märta Torén, Dan Duryea

This unconventional blend of gritty noir and dreamy romance stars James Mason as Frank Matson, a gangland doctor who, in a daring double cross, steals not only his mobster boss’s loot, but his moll Laura (Märta Torén) as well. Fleeing to Mexico with the stolen cash, Frank and Laura start a new, honest life as valued members of an idyllic beachside community. But, in true noir style, the past is never far behind.
