The Breaking Point is crackling good drama.

Arguably the superior mounting of the Ernest Hemingway story, The Breaking Point proves moral gloom exists as equally and virulently sunny-side up.
September 8, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… -
The acting, script and direction (by Michael Curtiz) are first-rate, making it classic filmmaking.

Phyllis Thaxter steals the show. Her scenes are the best in the movie, and some of the best domestic scenes in cinema history. You don't often see a husband and wife on equal footing like this, nor do you see it this sexually charged.
July 23, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
It emerges as a strong, sardonic melodrama, more honest than most in its close-ups of human relationships.
October 18, 2019 | Full Review… -
The film is always interesting and often exciting, and Mr. Michael Curtiz has directed it in a tough and sullen style which is most effective.

Audience Reviews for The Breaking Point

Nov 08, 2007Superior performances in this rough well made film. In his second to last film, a much truer version of Hemingway's To Have and Have Not than the Bogie/Bacall film, Garfield is nothing short of brilliant making his early death and the loss of his talent all the clearer. Patricia Neal has one of her best if not the best role of her early Hollywood career and she's great as the been around wise girl who has a yen for Garfield. She and Phyllis Thaxter, also very fine, provide an interesting contrast as women who are miles apart but also similar in many ways. The fact that the two actresses share a resemblance helps make the point even clearer. Worth seeking out.jay n Super Reviewer
