Under My Skin: Review

starstarstarstar
Ernest Hemingway's spare, somewhat grim short story "My Old Man" is here turned into something resembling THE CHAMP on horseback. Though Hemingway's story was considerably altered and expanded to fit a feature-length film, the resulting picture retains much of the basic flavor of the author's work. Dan Butler (John Garfield), a crooked jockey who has been barred from racing in the US and Italy, flees to France with his son, Joe (Orley Lindgren), barely escaping death at the hands of a gangster. In Paris, Dan and his son run into Paule Manet (Micheline Presle, the star of the French classic DEVIL IN THE FLESH, in her first American role), a beautiful woman who owns her own nightclub on the Left Bank. In an effort to become the perfect dad that his son imagines him to be, Dan decides to run an honest race, and also become serious with Paule. However, pressure from gangster Louis Bork (Luther Adler), who demands that the rider throw a race in order to pay back a loan, puts Dan in a spot. leave a comment
