They Drive by Night

They Drive by Night (1940) starring George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino, Humphrey Bogart. Well-acted, well-written melodrama about Joe and Paul (Raft and Bogart), two brothers who are in the trucking business together. Mrs. Carlsen (Lupino), the wife of a trucking firm owner, is in love with Joe, but he doesn't return her feelings. She resorts to murder to try to win him, but it doesn't work. This is really a movie that flies mostly on the strength of its cast, and it only goes so far. (Subtitles in English are available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B-
