Signed to an MGM contract in 1942, Hodiak did some of his best work on loan-out to 20th Century-Fox, where he appeared as a communist stoker in Hitchcock's Lifeboat (1944) and as the humanitarian US army officer in A Bell for Adano (1945).

I didn't recognize John Hodiak at all, although author Eddie Muller tells us he was a fairly well established star in the mid-40s on Muller's entertaining and informative commentary track.
Hodiak plays a weary soldier in the good Battle of the Bulge movie `Battleground,' and he's one of the washed aboard survivors in Alfred Hitchcock's `Lifeboat.' Hodiak, about 30 when SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT was made was square shouldered, jut jawed, and seemed to favor a trim Clark Gable moustache.
Hodiak, stiff as shoe leather, doesn't have nearly enough in his own cache of charisma to wipe the deer-in-the-headlights look off Guild's face, much less pump a cubic ounce of air into a scene.

Some survivors confirm that the steamer was able to torpedo the U-boat before she went down, destroying both vessels — a fact made plain when the American survivors pluck German sailor Willy (Walter Slezak) from the chilly Atlantic.
As always, Hitch demanded a solid script, and while John Steinbeck earned prominent credit, Hitchcock and scenarist Jo Swerling compiled the final dialogue, which is sharp enough to work as a straightforward radio play.
Bankhead's A-list work is supported by a well-rounded cast, in particular John Hodiak, the Steinbeck-esque left-wing machinist, and Walter Slezak, who toys with the audience's sympathies as the German captive.
