• Plot: Mae Doyle is a good-time girl, but now times are bad. Weary of too much booze and too many men, she returns to her girlhood home, the fishing village of Monterey, California. ; ; There she finds security as the wife of a devoted and dull fisherman and passion in the arms of his provocative best friend. ; ; Film noir master Fritz Lang ('The Big Heat', 'Ministry of Fear') directs four towering talents -- Barbara Stanwyck, Paul Douglas, Robert Ryan and rising star Marilyn Monroe - in a stark tale of lives burnished by human emotion and shattered by human failings. ; ; Intense and powerfully realistic, 'Clash by Night' (from a Clifford Odets play) is about many towns, many families. Serene on the surface. Roiling with desperation underneath.
