Finished watching "The Breaking Point" last night (1950). Liked it much more than I expected, but I pretty much love all noir, so...

The last shot is heartbreaking.

The second film adaptation of #ErnestHemingway 's To Have And Have Not -- the 1944 Bogart/Bacall is of course much more stylish.

I watched it on #criterionChannel but it's apparently available at the #internetArchive -
