Clash by Night

Clash by Night is a black-and-white film noir/drama starring Robert Ryan and Marilyn Monroe. The movie was based on a play by Clifford Odets, adapted by writer Alfred Hayes. The play takes place in a city, not a fishing village like the movie. This was Monroe's first film where she is credited before the movie's title. During the shooting, the now famous naked calendar photos of Monroe surfaced and reporters hounded the actress during the filming of the movie. The film, including the long documentary-like fishing and canning open was shot in Cannery Row Monterey, California. The film was directed by Fritz Lang.
