to stay, letting the Dobbs family go about their business but always keeping at least one of them at home with him as a hostage, to make sure the others don't talk to the police. The family's plight is further complicated by the fact that Peg is truly attracted to him, despite what he's done, and seems willing to risk a great deal to see her family safe and him safely away from their home. She wants to love him, but discovers that ...He Ran All the Way ( He Ran All the Way Home ) I have always loved John Garfield, for a number of reasons I suppose, not the least of which he was a great (and I think vastly underrated) actor. He had amazing qualities, and he was tough and at the same time quite vulnerable. He was from a working-class background in New York, and often the roles he played reflected this. He was a tough street-kid. This film to me is classic film noir, which I suppose simply can be summed up as American-themed movies between 1940 and the end of the 50's, with an artistic European feel. For a better analysis of film noir than mine check out the wikipedia site. Anyway, the film is an exciting and nail-biting thriller, where a chance meeting by two people ends up in a hostage situation. I won't give the plot away at all, but suffice to say the film is exciting and enthralling all the way
