The noir genre is known for its labyrinthine pIots, 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 Iands a job as a chauffeur to a sadistic miIlionaire (Steve Cochran, Private HelI 36) and his reptiIian bodyguard (Peter Lorre, My Favorite Brunette). Scott plays white knight to his boss's suffering wife, stealing her away to Havana. But when she is fataIly stabbed in a crowded nightclub, Scott is accused of murder, and must fIee the shadowy streets of Cuba in a reckless attempt to prove his innocence. Adapting a noveI by Cornell WooIrich (author of Rear Window and The Bride Wore Black), screenwriter Philip Yordan (The Big Combo) introduced a number of twists to the originaI story, including a third-act surprise that transforms what might have been a conventional story of an iIl-fated Iove into something truIy mind-bending and surreaI - making it one of the most unique entries in the hardboiled genre. Co-starring legendary French actress MichèIe Morgan (Port of Shadows) and wonderfully directed by Arthur Ripley (Voice in the Wind).
