Mae Doyle (Barbara Stanwyck) 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 town of Monterey, California. There she finds security as the wife of a devoted and dull fisherman (Paul Douglas) . and passion in the arms of his dangerously volatile best friend (Robert Ryan). Film noir master Fritz Lang directs a powerhouse cast—including rising star Marilyn Monroe—in this stark tale (adapted from a Clifford Odets play) of turbulent lives roiled by passion and desperation. tongue-tied lightning. The two previous American Lang films I had seen, Human Desire and The Big Heat, didn’t leave much of an impression on me. However, I would like to revisit both. Clash By Night on the other hand, had me at hello. Opening with stormy seas, it is as much melodrama as it is noir. The screenplay by Clifford Odets captures the best of both worlds, full of snappy dialogue and sexual intrigue. It concerns a woman who has had some tough breaks in life coming back home to live with her brother, “Home is where you come when you run out of places” she says. She meets a nice man and ends up marrying him, only to be tempted by his troubled friend. The cast is fantastic, coming in I was excited to see Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Ryan and Marilyn Monroe in the same film. Imagine my surprise that Paul Douglas, who I had only seen in Angels in the Outfield, ended up really impressing me. He has a very unique character, and it’s a shame he wasn’t used more. Stanwyck is her usual fantastic self and Marilyn Monroe is really good. I think she is undervalued as an actress these days and viewed as nothing more than a sex symbol. Even later in her career she seemed to get a lot of roles that demanded little more from her than being cute or sexy. Robert Ryan is very convincing in his role, he’s despicable, and the combination of him and Stanwyck, who it would seem sees much of what she doesn’t like about herself in him, is explosive. Lang’s direction is as strong as ever. I was particularly taken by how much he says with his shot compositions and cinematography. He uses very suggestive lighting and blocking to get his points across. There is one shot late in the film with Barbara Stanwyck in the center of the shot in the background with the imposing figures of Robert Ryan and Paul Douglas in the foreground on either side of her. Imagery like this seems to be a forgotten art, obviously Lang does it better than most, but during Hollywood’s golden age it seemed to be more or less a given. It’s rare these days to see images composed with such thoughtfulness. As long as we can see the actors it’s all good. The ending isn’t as dark as I was anticipating. When in the projection booth Robert Ryan was talking about how he’d like to cut up the faces of pretty women I assumed it was foreshadowing a violent ending. Though I’m grateful that wasn’t the case. As dark as the film is, it is nice that the ending has a modicum of hope, if it isn’t an outright happy ending. Paul Douglas’s character is so kindhearted it would’ve been painful to see anything less. It can be a cruel world, but it helps when there is still room to hope. ‘Clash By Night’: Marilyn’s Neo-Realist Heroine. Fritz Lang’s Clash By Night (1952) is one of many classic Hollywood films with progressive credentials covered in Paul Buhle and Dave Wagner’s 2002 book, Radical Hollywood: The Untold Story Behind America’s Favourite Movies . As cannery worker Peggy, Marilyn was given a rare opportunity to play an authentically blue-collar woman like herself; and though it was a supporting role, she is prominently featured in the film’s opening scenes. ( The Asphalt Jungle , and the 1951 adaptation of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman , are also mentioned in the book.) “The shift from the ambience of the censored thirties is most literal, in a different sense, in Clash By Night . Adapted from a [Clifford] Odets drama, its screenwriter was former Popular Front [aka the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League] lyricist Alfred Hayes, who had most recently worked in Rome scripting (albeit without credit) scenes of Paisan , the neorealist classic directed by Roberto Rossellini. Set in the considerably less romantic ruins of contemporary Monterey, California, Clash opens realistically with a proletarian scene of boats bringing back the catch for the fish- processing plant, then sweeps in to show a young Marilyn Monroe, rising sleepily and unwillingly from her lonely bed at the call of the alarm clock, then walking to the plant for her production-line job of fish sorting. Soon enough, we learn that the catch is down, part of a larger melancholy drift: Monterey’s happiest days as a working-class town are now well behind it, and the urgency to get out has become supreme. Altogether, the opening is one of the best depictions of work in any Hollywood film. The camera in Clash then suddenly moves from the factory floor to a nearby exterior, where a lone woman, played by Barbara Stanwyck, comes into view … Unlike the kindly but simple Monroe character who soon happily marries a local, Stanwyck doesn’t belong here. The struggle that continues is not class against class, but gender against gender …”.

  • Awake and Sing! Study Guide/Lobby Packett Prepared by Sara Freeman, Dramaturg
    Awake and Sing! Study Guide/Lobby Packett Prepared by Sara Freeman, dramaturg Section I Clifford Odets: A Striving Life Clifford Odets was born in Philadelphia, on July 18, 1906, the son of a working-class Jewish family made good. Louis Odets, his father, had been a peddler, but also worked as a printer for a publishing company. In 1908, Louis Odets moved his family to New York City, where, after a brief return to Philadelphia, he prospered as a printer and ended up owning his own plant and an advertising agency, as well as serving as a Vice President of a boiler company. Odets grew up in the middle-class Bronx, not the Berger’s Bronx of tenements and squalor. Still Odets described himself as a “melancholy kid” who clashed often with his father. Odets quit high school after two years. When he was 17, Odets plunged into the theatre. He joined The Drawing Room Players and Harry Kemp’s Poets’ Theater. He wrote some radio plays, did summer stock, and hit the vaudeville circuit as “The Roving Reciter.” In 1929, he moved into the city because of a job understudying Spencer Tracy in Conflict on Broadway. A year later Odets joined the nascent Group Theatre, having met Harold Clurman and some of the other Group actors while playing bit parts at the Theatre Guild. The Group philosophy became the shaping force of Odets’ life as a writer. Clurman became his best friend and most perceptive critic. Odets wrote the first version of Awake and Sing!, then called I Got the Blues, in 1934.

  • Clifford Odets's Dog of Betrayal: Awake and Sing! in Performance Robert Skloot
    Spring 1990 179 Clifford Odets's Dog of Betrayal: Awake and Sing! in Performance Robert Skloot From the early agit-prop Waiting For Lefty to the last parable The Flowering Peach, a look at Clifford Odets's work for the stage over two decades reveals one theme whose appearance could be called an obsession. This unifying theme is the key to understanding Odets as a writer and, equally important, is of great use in directing Odets for performance. Examining how it operates so forcefully in his greatest play Awake and Sing! provides guidance for the director who must concretize the stage images which are necessary if Odets's pervasive and propulsive thematic concern is to move and touch modern audiences. I refer to what I call (adapting Mr. Prince's phrase in Rocket to the Moon) "the quiet, biting dog of betrayal." In this essay, I shall explore how betrayal is at work in Awake and Sing!, and how a recent production sought to reflect that theme in performance. "... [T]he life of New York," wrote Robert Warshow in his famous 1946 essay "Clifford Odets: Poet of the Jewish Middle Class," "can be said at this particular stage in the process of acculturation to embody the common experience of American Jews. Clifford Odets is the poet of this life."1 It is Odets's audience (as well as his subject) which is noted in Warshow's title, and its preoccupation with "getting along" within the competition of daily life that became the psychological place from which Odets began his investigations of personal and political relationships.
