Directed by Roy William Neill • 1946 • United States
Starring Dan Duryea, June Vincent, Peter Lorre
Based (loosely) on a novel by legendary crime writer and master of existential dread Cornell Woolrich (REAR WINDOW, THE BRIDE WORE BLACK), this bleakly atmospheric noir stars everyone’s favorite sleazoid heel Dan Duryea in an uncharacteristically sympathetic role as a hard-drinking musician who must fight through a drunken haze to help clear an innocent man of murder—though he may not like what he finds out. Peter Lorre costars as a shadowy nightclub owner who is also a prime suspect.
