📽 1949: The Woman on Pier 13 is an American film noir drama. Starring Laraine Day, Robert Ryan, John Agar, Janis Carter and Thomas Gomez.

• Brad Collins (Ryan), a San Francisco shipping executive, has recently married Nan Lowry (Day) after a whirlwind one-week courtship. During their honeymoon the couple meet Christine Norman (Carter), an old flame of Brad's whom Nan immediately dislikes.

Brad had once been a dockworker in New York, but rose from the San Francisco waterfront to become a respected shipping firm vice president, prized for his experience on both side of the trade. As a result, he becomes the target of a Communist cell led by Vanning (Gomez) who orders an alleged FBI informer drowned in front of him to demonstrate the stakes. After threatening to reveal Brad's real name - Frank Johnson - and his potential responsibility for a murder as a U.S. Communist party strongarm during the Depression, Vanning orders him to sabotage labor negotiations in the Bay Area shipping industry by resisting union demands in a labor dispute.
