OUT
OF THE FOG
1941.....93
Minutes
Ida
Lupino, John Garfield, Thomas Mitchell
One
man is the terror of Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, Goff is able
to extort $5 per week from people like tailor Jonah Goodwin
(Thomas Mitchell) and short-order cook Olaf Johnson (John Qualen),
knowing full well that his victims are too good-hearted to fight
back. Making matters worse for Goodwin is the fact that his
restless daughter Stella (Ida Lupino), seeking to escape her
humdrum existence, has fallen in love with the fascinating Goff,
leaving her mild-mannered sweetheart George Watkins (Eddie Albert)
in the cold. Atmospherically photographed by James Wong Howe,
Out of the Fog is pure "film noir."
