(1950) B&W Not Rated

Starring: Edmond O'Brien, Pamela Britton, Beverly Garland A Picture as Excitingly Different as its Title! A vacationing accountant is given a poison and is informed by a doctor he has a short time to live. The accountant decides to spend his remaining time trying to track down the source of poison, find out who gave it to him and what the reason was for it. As his time grows short, the accountant, accompanied by his secretary, gets closer to the truth but also in greater peril. In all the annals of police history there has never been a story like this - of a man who had 48 hours to find his own murderer. Edmond O'Brien (The Barefoot Contessa, The Wild Bunch) stars as Frank Bigelow, a vacationing accountant who has been poisoned, and doesn't know why or by whom. With only a short time to live, he searches for the truth - but the closer he gets, the more danger he encounters. Directed by legendary cinematographer Rudolph Maté (Foreign Correspondent, Gilda), D.O.A. is a must-see film noir classic featuring all of the genre's stylilized characteristics. Striking visuals, a foreboding score by Dmitri Tiomkin (It's a Wonderful Life), and a sinister plot. Also starring Pamela Britton and Luther Adler. Beverly Garland and Neville Brand in their feature film debut.
