Ida Lupino's "Petey Brown" in The Man I Love (1947) is both a quintessential Lupino character and an ideal Raoul Walsh heroine: tough and gutsy yet also tender, a woman who flourishes on both qualities. This was Walsh's fourth time directing her, and he knew just how to guide her strengths as an actress to get what he wanted.
Based on a novel called
Night Shift
by Maritta Wolff, the movie's screenplay originally bore that title and was set to star Ann Sheridan and Humphrey Bogart. Script rewrites led to a new title,
Why Was I Born?
, before Warner Brothers finally settled on The Man I Love, both of which are names of George and Ira Gershwin songs which crop up in the picture. The story, a romantic melodrama, finds Ida Lupino as a New York nightclub singer who travels to California to visit her sisters and brother. She decides to stay awhile and lands a job in Robert Alda's nightclub, where her sister also works. As the shady Alda tries to seduce the nave sister, Lupino falls for her married pianist (Bruce Bennett).
