A 1944 Cary Grant film written & directed by esteemed playwright Clifford Odets. Taking place in Blighty, we have Grant playing a ne'er do well bloke gallivanting the streets hoping to make it as part of a criminal crew so he can help out his mother who's dying of cancer. Along the way he befriends the wife of a gangster & gets the occasional advice from an aging curmudgeon played by Barry Fitzgerald. Not the usual smooth player that Grant was known for leaning more towards his avaricious nature who is always on the prowl for the easy buck only to felled for his love of his 'mum'. A welcome left turn for an actor usually not found acting outside of his comfort zone.
