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