Out of the Fog (working title: Danger Harbor) is a 1941 American film noir crime drama directed by Anatole Litvak and starring John Garfield, Ida Lupino and Thomas Mitchell.
Brooklyn fishermen Jonah Goodwin and Olaf Johnson are threatened by extortionist gangster Harold Goff, who demands "protection" money of $5 a week.
Several scenes in the film were staged in the style typical of New York's Group Theatre, which had produced the source play The Gentle People on Broadway in the late 1930s.
The use of concurrent, back-and-forth conversations during the bath house scene in which Jonah and Olaf plot Goff's murder followed a pattern established by the Group Theatre.
