“If we go over a cliff, wake me up.”
Two truck driving brothers (George Raft, Humphrey Bogart) get tired of being screwed over by bosses and decide to strike out on their own and start their own trucking company. But tragedy strikes and their dreams come crashing down. That’s just the beginning of their problems.

Gritty, ballsy WB crime drama with a cast of colorful characters. Best truck driver movie ever. Raft and Bogart are great. This is Bogey pre-leading man but at least he’s not the villain this time so he was making progress. Lovely Ann Sheridan is good as the tough working class dame who falls for Raft. Ida Lupino is particularly wicked as the sarcastic woman after Raft who goes completely bonkers before it’s all said and done. Her performance is over the top in the best way. Great WB supporting cast includes people like Alan Hale and Henry O’Neill. Love getting to see the inner workings of the trucking industry back then and seeing how things have changed (and how they haven’t). Love those old trucks, too. Fantastic movie. An underrated classic.

Solid melodramatic entertainment which borrows the second half of its plot from Archie Mayo’s “Bordertown.”
Bogart had an opportunity for considerably more self-expression in “They Drive By Night,” a film which has remained popular with audiences not so much for its story, which is rather trivial, but for the forceful performances contributed by all its leading players and the good direction by Raoul Walsh

Raft and Bogart are brothers who wanted to start their own trucking business and eventually succeed, but not before Bogart loses an arm in an accident and Lupino nearly sends Raft to jail for a murder she committed The trial sequence in which her latent insanity causes her to disintegrate into hysterics on the witness stand is one of the screen’s best remembered moments

Bogart was convincing in his role as he gave way to the frustrations and bitterness of a cripple and then back again to resigned self-satisfaction as he accepted the role life had given him to play out
