“The Breaking Point is one that I have to take credit for bringing to the Criterion Collection's attention. I programmed it at Telluride in 2009 and in 1950 Michael Curtiz made three count him three films for Warner Brothers and producer Jerry Wald... And this is arguably well I won't argue I just think it's true the finest adaptation of Hemingway's To Have and Have Not.”
