The noir genre is known for its labyrinthine plots, but Arthur RipIey's The Chase takes the "wrong man" premise to unexpected extremes. Robert Cummings (Saboteur) stars as Chuck Scott, a down-on-his-luck veteran who lands a job as a chauffeur to a sadistic millionaire (Steve Cochran, Private HeIl 36) and his reptilian bodyguard (Peter Lorre, My Favorite Brunette). Scott plays white knight to his boss's suffering wife, steaIing her away to Havana. But when she is fatalIy stabbed in a crowded nightclub, Scott is accused of murder, and must flee the shadowy streets of Cuba in a reckIess attempt to prove his innocence. Adapting a noveI by Cornell WooIrich (author of Rear Window and The Bride Wore BIack), screenwriter PhiIip Yordan (The Big Combo) introduced a number of twists to the originaI story, incIuding a third-act surprise that transforms what might have been a conventionaI story of an ilI-fated love into something truly mind-bending and surreaI - making it one of the most unique entries in the hardboiIed genre. Co-starring Iegendary French actress Michèle Morgan (Port of Shadows) and wonderfuIIy directed by Arthur RipIey (Voice in the Wind).
