Love on the waterfront makes him the contender...
22 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Tied up with the wrong people gets handsome Frank Albertson accused of a murder he did not commit, and being a sucker, he hides out in a fishing port as the police grab the clues of his whereabouts. Falling in love with fisherman's daughter Ann Rutherford, he hides out and almost makes it. But when jealous floozy Barbara Pepper learns of his whereabouts and looses her own meal ticket, she makes the call that could ruin his life.

In spite of the title, this focuses on gambling gentleman Albertson who always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. On the verge of second string fame as Andy Hardy's girlfriend, Rutherford shows potential in this poverty row drama. J. Farrell MacDonald, Charles C. Wilson and Mary Gordon (as one of a gaggle of gossipy bags) are also fine in this likable and fast moving melodrama. This is one I'd like to see restored and cleaned up.
