Synopsis: In Brooklyn, fishing is the hobby of the workers Jonah Goodwin and Olaf Johnson and they use to fish every night in their old boat. Jonah's daughter is the twenty-one year-old telephone operator Stella Goodwin, who is an ambitious young woman that dreams on leaving her neighborhood. She is the sweetheart of the worker George Watkins, a simple man that dreams on marrying her. When the smalltime gangster Harold Goff arrives in Brooklyn, he extorts money from Jonah and Olaf to "protect" their boat from fire and dates Stella. Jonah tries to convince his daughter that Goff is a racketeer that takes money out of poor ordinary people but she does not care to her father since she sees Goff as her chance to have a comfortable life and visit new places. When she discloses to Goff that her father has savings, Goff demands the money to Jonah. Now the old man is convinced that the only chance to get rid off Goff is to fight back.

I want to talk to you alone.
Excuse me Stella.
That's alright Mr Johnson.
I'll wait for you on pier, Pop.
I'll be right there, Stella.
Well, Olaf?
Jonah, before I die .. the wallet.
Where is the wallet?
In the water.
- The money?
In the wallet .. watch me.
Too good to be true.
The boat with the bunks in the galley,
the swordfishes in the Gulf-Stream.
We'll have it all now.
- Jonah.
Our safety deposit box.
- Our bank president.
A man with the brains
of a bank president.
That's what you are. Now, Jonah please,
will you throw away the wallet.
For your sake, Olaf.
Make a wish as you throw it, Jonah.
And why you're throwing that old
hunk of bait away, make a wish for me.
See you later, boys.
Too bad .. it was a
nice piece of leather.
Goodnight, Olaf.
- Goodnight, Jonah.
A man with the brains
of a bank president.
Stella.
- Yes, Pop.
For a long time, Olaf and I have wanted
to buy a boat and go fishing off Cuba.
I think, now we can buy that boat.
And it would be nice if we
had somebody like you along.
Somebody to do the
cooking and help along.
Would you go on such
trip if I asked you?
Would I? Oh Pop,
just ask me and fid out.
You know Stella, off the coast of Cuba
the sun shines 11 months of the year.
And they catch fish that weigh
from 700 to a 1,000 pounds.
Fish with spears in their noses.
Swordfish, Pop.
They call them "swordfish".
That's it Stella .. swordfish.

Robert Rossen

Robert Rossen (March 16, 1908 – February 18, 1966) was an American screenwriter, film director, and producer whose film career spanned almost three decades. His 1949 film All the King's Men won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress, while Rossen was nominated for an Oscar as Best Director. He won the Golden Globe for Best Director and the film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture. In 1961 he directed The Hustler, which was nominated for nine Oscars and won two. After directing and writing for the stage in New York, Rossen moved to Hollywood in 1937. There he worked as a screenwriter for Warner Bros. until 1941, and then interrupted his career to serve until 1944 as the chairman of the Hollywood Writers Mobilization, a body to organize writers for the effort in World War II. In 1945 he joined a picket line against Warner Bros. After making one film for Hal Wallis's newly formed production company, Rossen made one for Columbia Pictures, another for Wallis and most of his later films for his own companies, usually in collaboration with Columbia. Rossen was a member of the American Communist Party from 1937 to about 1947, and believed the Party was "dedicated to social causes of the sort that we as poor Jews from New York were interested in."He ended all relations with the Party in 1949. Rossen was twice called before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), in 1951 and in 1953. He exercised his Fifth Amendment rights at his first appearance, refusing to state whether he had ever been a Communist. As a result, he found himself blacklisted by Hollywood studios as well as unable to renew his passport. At his second appearance he named 57 people as current or former Communists and his blacklisting ended. In order to repair finances he produced his next film, Mambo, in Italy in 1954. While The Hustler in 1961 was a great success, conflicts on the set of Lilith so disillusioned him that it was his last film. more…
