Belgian poster for THE BREAKING POINT (1950)

Directed by Michael Curtiz

Starring John Garfield - BOTD in 1913

Based on Hemingway's TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, THE BREAKING POINT can't help but be overshadowed by the classic Howard Hawks adaptation of that novel. It's very much worth a watch, though.

"There are actresses who want to stick to one certain way, and there are actors like me who want to do a bunch of different characters. Don't fence me in! Don't lock me down! I want to do different things! I don't know who I am!"
