Three men, reared together in New Orleans, but whose paths have drifted apart, each face a crisis during the last weekend of Mardi Gras: Dr. Jason Kent must decide between accepting a chance to become famous as a research scientist, which will mean leaving New Orleans and giving up the girl he loves, Susan Corvier, or staying in his father's practice among the poor; Father Victor Carducci is refused permission to open an independent clinic and is thinking of leaving the Church; Punch-drunk prizefighter Joe Piavi is mainly operating in a survival mode and is trying to collect $1500 owed to him by his former manager Mike Hennighan. When he finds out about the debt, brash reporter Danny Farber, not above a double-cross when it means gain for him, needles Hennighan about Joe, and then tells Joe that Henninghan is threatening to send him to an asylum. The paths of Jason, Father Carducci and J!

| User ReviewAshley HA.I. Bezzerides, writer of "Thieves' Highway" and "Kiss Me Deadly Kiss Me Deadly," wrote this gritty little story about three people dealing with their various demons during Mardi Gras. Gig Young is one of those people, but it's ex-boxer Keenan Wynn who's story I found the most interesting. It's kind of preachy and does drag at times, but Wynn was very good in his role and made the film worth watching for me. |
