Road House (1948, USA) Featuring Ida Lupino, Cornel Wilde, Richard Widmark - Film Noir Full Movie

Pete Morgan manages Jefty’s Road House for his longtime friend, Jefferson “Jefty“ Robbins, who inherited the place from his father. Jefty is attracted to Lily Stevens, his new singer from Chicago, but Pete thinks she is just another in a long string of girls he will eventually have to send on her way when Jefty tires of her. For his part, however, Jefty is convinced that Lily is “different“, even though she is playing hard to get. Although Pete tries to pay Lily off and put her on a train, she refuses to leave and makes a successful debut at the club, accompanying herself on piano. Jefty asks Pete to teach Lily how to bowl in the roadhouse’s alley, but she shows little interest in the sport and quite a bit more in Pete.
