Moontide (2008,DVD) Ida Lupino,Thomas Mitchell,1942
Description:
A "brooding account of beachcombers and strays in a Southern California
coast town" (New York Herald Tribune) and a surprising romance that
motivates a lifelong drifter to settle down for good.
In his first U.S. on-screen performance, acclaimed French actor Jean
Gabin plays Bobo, a free-spirited wanderer who docks in a Pacific
seaside town with his buddy Tiny (Thomas Mitchell), a sponge who wants
to leave. After a night of drunken debauchery, Bobo awakens on a
strange barge wearing the cap of a dead man. Afraid he has committed
the crime, Bobo prepares to skip town with Tiny but is delayed when he
meets Anna (Ida Lupino), who he rescues from drowning herself in the
surf. They fall in love and open a business together selling bait.
Jealous and desperate to leave, Tiny attempts to ruin the relationship,
and when Anna learns that Tiny has been keeping a dark secret, it's
clear only one of them will survive.
