Watch: The Breaking Point 1950 123movies, Full Movie Online – Based out of Newport Beach, California, Harry Morgan, a former naval officer during the war, is struggling to make ends meet operating a boat charter, primarily fishing trips locally and to/from Mexico, with his friend Wesley Park more often than not by his side as his first mate. Harry was hoping at this point in his life that he would have had a fleet of boats, but instead he is already behind in payments on the one and only, the Sea Queen. Despite the loving and devoted relationship he has with his wife Lucy Morgan, the two who have two adolescent daughters, Amy and Connie, the boat is the one sore point in their marriage, Lucy often encouraging him to get more stable work, such as with her uncle on a lettuce farm, despite she knowing that the sea is the only life he knows and loves. On his and Wesley’s latest multi-day fishing charter to Mexico, Harry gets stranded with no money to get him, Wesley and the Sea Queen back to the US. Running into shyster American lawyer F.R. Duncan, Harry, despite being law abiding, has to decide if he will agree to Duncan’s request to carry some illegal cargo back into the States, that illegal cargo which would provide him with more than enough money to make the trip back. What he decides begins a series of incidents which threaten not only his livelihood and his marriage – the latter as Lucy becomes jealous of Leona Charles, the woman who was on that fishing charter – but his life in its entirety..
Plot: A fisherman with money problems hires out his boat to transport criminals.

Reviews:

Could this be Curtiz’ masterpiece?
“The Breaking Point” comes from the same short story by Hemingway as “To Have and Have Not” but you would never really know it. If the Hawks movie was “Casablanca”-light, this is top notch Hemingway with a terse, beautifully written screenplay by Ranald MacDougall. Michael Curtiz, who directed “Casablanca” made this and it shows he had a much tougher edge than perhaps we’re used to, but then remember Curtiz also made “Mildred Pierce” and she was no pushover.

John Garfield is the hard-nosed cruiser captain, tougher even than Bogie if you can believe it, and instead of Bacall we have Patricia Neal, brilliant as the blonde who has been around the block a few times. Instead of cuddly Walter Brennan we get the great Juno Hernandez who is a long way from cuddly and Wallace Ford is his usual magnificent self as the scuzzball who does the dirty on everyone.

Some people rate this as Curtiz’ masterpiece and it’s not hard to see why even if I still prefer “Casablanca” and that waitress. There isn’t an ounce of fat to be found in this picture, not a single shot that is out of place and if you do want to think of Curtiz as an auteur and not just the greatest of studio directors then this is one to go for.
