The Damned Don't Cry

The Damned Don't Cry (promoted as The Damned Don't Cry!) is a 1950 American film noir crime drama directed by Vincent Sherman and featuring Joan Crawford, David Brian and Steve Cochran. The plot concerns a woman's involvement with an organized-crime boss and his subordinates. The screenplay by Harold Medford and Jerome Weidman was based on the story "Case History" written by Gertrude Walker, loosely based on the relationship of Bugsy Siegel and Virginia Hill. The Damned Don't Cry is the first of three cinematic collaborations between Sherman and Crawford along with Harriet Craig (1950) and Goodbye, My Fancy (1951).
