They Drive by Night (US, 1940)

Truck drivin' brothers from their inauspicious beginnings to eventual success in a major player. Occupational hazards aside, one must field potentially fatal attention from the boss' calumniating wife.

The first film about long haul drivers? There's witty lines aplenty, Bogey is of course great; it's a good film, but noir it is not.
