Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
Josef Dousa is a railway guard who returns from the WWI hoping that he would forget all the horrors of his recent experiences in his lone-standing guard house at the side of his beautiful young wife. One day he saves the life of a young man who is about to jump under a train. However, the man falls in love with Dousa's wife and arouses her passion. Dousa is hit by a bout of deafness and when his hearing returns he does not admit it to anyone--not even his wife. That is the only way he can find out about his wife's infidelity.
