The Breaking Point
A film by Michael Curtiz
Starring John Garfield, Patricia Neal, Phyllis Thaxter, Juano Hernandez, Wallace Ford
John Garfield plays fishing boat skipper Harry Morgan, a desperate man in the throes of a mid-life crisis whose acceptance of a nefarious operator’s “easy money” brings heartbreaking results. The entire cast is pitch-perfect, with Patricia Neal (the tart-tongued “other woman”) and Phyllis Thaxter (Morgan’s devoted wife) particular standouts.
