About The Last Turning
Frank, a hobo, ends up in a garage-truck stop in the middle of nowhere. Nick Marino, its older, kind and naive owner, is married to Cora, a sexy and mercenary woman half his age. Frank, although not a fan of hard work, accepts Nick's offer to work for him.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1939.
