Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })They Drive by Night (1940) is a Warner Bros. crime drama film directed by Raoul Walsh, starring George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Humphrey Bogart, and Ida Lupino. It's frequently cited as an early example of Film Noir.Two brothers, Joe (Raft) and Paul (Bogart) Fabrini, are living the perilous life of truckers, fighting to get a decent wage and living without their loved ones. Joe eventually finds love with Cassie (Sheridan) and things seem to improve when the brothers sign up with a new employer, Ed Carlsen (Alan Hale Sr.). Unfortunately, two tragedies strike: Paul loses his arm in an accident while things get rocky for Joe when Ed’s wife, Lana (Lupino), tries and begins to scheme against her husband to be with Joe.Things only get worse from there.Not to be confused with Nicholas Ray's 1948 film They Live by Night.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

All a Part of the Job: Joe and Paul have a horrible boss, and trucking is a tough job, but Joe loves being on the road. Not even the tragic death of a fellow trucker can make him stop. | |

| They Drive by Night / int_e2edfe2f | comment |
Eucatastrophe: At Joe's trial, the prosecution appears to be building a pretty damning case out of circumstantial evidence. Then they call the star witness, Lana—and she has a complete breakdown, proving herself unfit to testify. After she's led away, the case against Joe is almost immediately tossed out. | |
