After deciding to settle down, she marries a simple man (Paul Douglas) but is wooed by another (Robert Ryan), a circumstance that turns what had been her choice into her trap. Director Fritz Lang (Metropolis, M, The Big Heat), working from a Clifford Odets story, teases out his pet themes about human beings ensnared in fate by their own impulses and in search of redemption. This is not one of Lang's masterpieces, but it is very good in an Anna Christie way. Stanwyck and Ryan, two indispensable figures in the noir genre, are tough as nails. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Lives, Loves and Times of the Working ClassBarbara Stanwyck is one of the greatest actresses of all time, "Stella Dallas", "Double Indemnity", "Sorry, Wrong Number" and "Christmas in Connecticut" being her best. This powerful film is right up there with all of those. Set in the time it was made, in the fishing village of Monterrey, California, we are given a glimpse of the rough-and-tumble everyday lives of blue-collar workers. It's kind of depressing, like Pensacola, Florida. Poor people fight loudly and don't have a lot ... Read More Rating:  - Relationships Clang in ''Clash By Night''After a decade on her own in the big city, Mae Doyle (Barbara Stanwyck) returns to her hometown which is a sleepy fishing village in Coastal California. Listless, bored, and broke, she eventually drifts into a marriage to Jerry D'Amato (Paul Douglas), hoping he will provide her with some security and safety. But Mae soon realizes she wants more excitement and passion, which her fisherman husband is oblivious to. Before long sparks fly between Mae and Jerry's ne'er-do-well friend Earl (Robert ... Read More Rating: - Great actors, director, set. ..but weak, soapy plot.This film has all the ingredients of a great movie - Fritz Lang directing, Barbara Stanwyck and Paul Dauglas starring, authentic locations filmed on fishing boats and in a sardine cannery on Monterey's Cannery Row, but a real dud of a plot to hang it all on. Stanwyck returns home from New York to rekindle her unhappy love life by marrying a steady rock of a fisherman played by Paul Douglas, but she really wants the wild and daring projectionist played by Robert Ryan. After the birth of their daughter, ... Read More Rating: - Women Trapped In Working-Class MarriagesMae Doyle (Barbara Stanwyck), a woman who once had big-city ambitions for a wealthy marriage, is forced to come back to her home town in defeat and has resigned herself to a drab marriage to decent, but boring Jerry D'Amato. It was only a matter of time before she falls for Jerry's friend Earl. Earl's better looking than Jerry and shares Mae's longing for a larger life. Like so many supposedly politically progressive social dramas of the time, Odet's play overly valorizes working-class men and ridicules women ... Read More Rating: - No glamour here for Marilyn. Barbara Stanwyck isis maturing beautifully. She plays Mae & has returned home to her brother, Joe after 10 years. She's become a hard & bitter woman. She is a failure & has returned to the safety and tranquility of this California fishing village. Her past seems shady at best. Paul Douglas plays Jerry, a sucessful fisherman & he doesn't care. He is Joe's boss & falls hopelessly in love with Mae. Jerry is very solid, prosperous, simple & boring. Mae knows what kind of woman she is & doesn't want to hurt ...
