A League of Their Own
But isn’t the hook of the story the historical novelty of a professional female baseball league? ?Should a logline be built around that hook? ?Is the sibling rivalry a secondary plot, a framing device to play out a particular subjective problem, the sibling rivalry, as well as be (fairly) true to what really happened?
Fwiw. I’m not sure and I haven’t see the movie in a long time. ?Maybe time to re-view it.

I agree with you, Nir Shelter, that "late night" can go. ?However, I prefer ?"fight each other and a corrupt system" ?because Bud White and Edmund Exley characters literally fight each other (twice). ?

I agree with you, Nir Shelter, that “late night” can go. ?However, I prefer ?”fight each other and a corrupt system” ?because Bud White and Edmund Exley characters literally fight each other (twice). ? And I think that’s an important part of the story hook. ?Cops are always fighting corruption in films (within the department and society at large), but how are they also fighting — literally — each other? ?So:
After a bloody massacre, three feuding cops fight each other and a corrupt system to unravel a conspiracy to take over organized crime in 1950?s L.A.
(26 words )
And btw:? their feuding, their inability to even peacefully co-exist as rivals,? is their character flaw.? Only after they stop fighting each other and partner up to fight the bad guys can they defeat the conspiracy.

I'm flexible on what scene gets tagged as the ?inciting incident.?(Although if the arrival of Ilsa is the inciting incident, it doesn't occur until 25 minutes into the movie. ?

I’m flexible on what scene gets tagged as the ?inciting incident.
?(Although if the arrival of Ilsa is the inciting incident, it doesn’t occur until 25 minutes into the movie. ? Which means the movie doesn’t conform to contemporary conventions for placing plot points.)
But I think the Nazis are only a hurdle, a complication; ?Rick’s emotional struggle with his cynicism, his bitterness over Ilsa seemingly to have deceived and ?dumped him is the major obstacle that impedes him from handing over the exit visas. ?Rick has several private moments with Ilsa and Victor, opportunities to ?hand them over — no Nazis, no Renault around to stop him. He can give the letters of transit to Ilsa or Victor. ?But he won’t.
Around 70 minutes into the film, ?in a private conversation, Victor begs Rick to sell them to him. ?Rick point blank refuses. ?When asked why, ?he says, “Ask your wife.” ?After that Ilsa meets with him (privately) and tries to reason with him into giving the letters of transit. ?Rick refuses. ?She begs him to. ?He refuses. ?She points a gun at him. ?He still refuses.
It isn’t a matter that ?he can’t turn them over to Mr. and Mrs. Laszlo ?but rather that he won’t.?
