They Drive by Night (1940) is a black-and-white film noir starring George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino, and Humphrey Bogart, and directed by Raoul Walsh. The picture involves a pair of embattled truck drivers and was released in the UK under the title The Road to Frisco. The film was based on A. I. Bezzerides' 1938 novel The Long Haul, which was later reprinted under the title They Drive by Night to capitalize on the success of the film. Part of the film's plot (that of Ida Lupino's character, Lana Carlsen, mudering her husband by carbon monoxide poisoning) was borrowed from the 1935 Warner Brother's film 'Bordertown' with Bette Davis.
