From A.I. Bezzerides novel, written by Jerry Wald and Richard Macauley. Packed with atmosphere of the dirty and unforgiving but comradely world of truckers, with George Raft, Ida Lupino (oozing femme fatale), Ann Sheridan (always great), Humphrey Bogart, Alan Hale, Roscoe Karns, Charles Halton (uncredited).
The stuff with the automatic doors is very sophisticated, and funny at the same time. She cracks up a bit too easily.
Produced by Mark Hellinger for Hal B. Wallis. Music by Adolph Deutsch, photographed by Arthur Edeson. It was a big hit.
