	Movies - Clash by Night

Clash by Night is a black-and-white film noir/drama starring Barbara Stanwyck, Paul Douglas and Robert Ryan, with an effective appearance by Marilyn Monroe. The movie was based on a play by Clifford Odets, adapted by writer Alfred Hayes. The play takes place in a coastal city, the movie in a fishing village. This was the first film in which Monroe was credited before the movie's title. During the shooting, the now famous naked calendar photos of Monroe surfaced and reporters hounded the actress during the filming of the movie. The film, including the long documentary-like fishing and canning open was shot in Cannery Row Monterey, California. The film was directed by Fritz Lang.

Plot

Mae returns home to her small town after breaking up with a rich man. What follows is a love triangle between Mae (Stanwyck), fisherman Jerry (Douglas) and film projectionist Pfeiffer (Ryan), even though Mae and Jerry have a baby together.
