Shockproof is a 1949 movie starring Cornel Wilde and Patricia Knight.

The director of Shockproof, Douglas Sirk, said he took the assignment because the movie dealt with one of his favorite themes: the price of flouting taboos.

[edit] Plot

Wilde plays Griff Marat, a parole officer who falls in love with a parolee, Jenny Marsh (Knight). Marsh had gone to prison in order to protect a gambler with whom she was having an affair. Out of concern for her welfare, Marat hires Marsh as a caretaker for his blind mother (Esther Minciotti).

[edit] Trivia

In Samuel Fuller's original script, the film ended with a violent rebellion by Marat against the system that kept him and Marsh apart. The studio had National Velvet scriptwriter Helen Deutsch step in to pen a soft-suds rewrite.

The movie had a disappointing box office in its original run. New York Times reviewer Matt Zoller Seitz indicated that Shockwave's revival run at the Two Boots Pioneer Theater in January 2007 was the film's first run in New York City.
