Lana Turner and John Garfield set the screen ablaze with their smoldering chemistry in this erotically charged noir classic based on the novel by James M. Cain. Down-and-out drifter Frank Chambers (Garfield) wanders into the roadside diner owned by Nick Smith (Cecil Kellaway)—and immediately falls for Smith’s young wife, Cora (Turner). An adulterous affair and a desire for money soon drive Frank and Cora to formulate a deadly plot that only begets more complications for the desperate lovers.

Drenched in fatalism, this gave us a great femme
fatale in the form of Lana Turner. The story is
well-structured and its final act, which provides an
extra layer of depth, is particularly good. One of the
essential noirs.
