“A breakneck, almost berserk spin on the classic detective yarn” – Eddie Muller, host of TCM’s Noir Alley
How’s this for a premise?: A mysterious stranger pours a toxin into a man’s drink, and now the man has only a week to find his murderer before the poison kills him. That’s the basis for this frenzied film noir classic starring Edmond O’Brien (whom you might recognize from The Hitch-Hiker, also screening this month at Arkadin) as hapless accountant Frank Bigelow, who is unwittingly embroiled in a complex web of intrigue as he races to save his own life. Bigelow embarks on a lurid odyssey of double-dealing, betrayal and murder that begins with “one of cinema’s most innovative opening sequences” (BBC) and leads to a nightmarish climax. Preserved by the National Film Registry, this brooding, paranoid classic is powered by O’Brien’s fevered, nearly unhinged, performance as well as director Rudolph Maté’s shadowy direction.
NOTE: On Rotten Tomatoes, this movie has an 88% on the Tomatometer and a 75% on the Popcornmeter.
