Moonrise

(1948)Directed by Frank Borzage90 minDrama
“HER ARMS...HER LOVE...HIS ONLY ESCAPE FROM A HERITAGE OF HATE!”

Danny Hawkins (Dane Clark) has been called a murderer's son since infancy, and the town has never let him forget the father who was hanged. One night his rage gets the better of him, and the man who tormented him most is dead. Frank Borzage films the swamp and the rain-dark nights in heavy shadow, so that Danny's guilt hangs in every frame.
