Unearthing The Lost Treasures Of Film Noir!
Eddie Roback is a wanted man.
And as the dragnet closes in around him, he knows that the difference between freedom and prison -perhaps even between life and death - comes down to just a few short hours, and the loyalty of ex-lover Denise Vernon.Now she must choose between her new life and the happiness it promises, or helping a man who has never brought her anything but pain.
As those hours tick away, these poor souls will face the hard choices they never thought they'd have to make, and the cruelest destiny that Fate has in store for the damned.
This classic man-on-the-run thriller from 1950 boasts an impeccable Noir pedigree: Directed by Frank Tuttle (This Gun For Hire and The Glass Key); starring Dane Clark (The Glass Key) and Simone Signoret (Diabolique); cinematography by the great Eugen Schufftan (pioneering director of photography on Edgar Ulmer's Bluebeard, George Franju's Eyes Without a Face, and The Hustler); produced by Victor Pahlen (producer of Edgar Ulmer's Pirates of Capri); with a catchy musical score by Joe Hajos.
Perhaps the most remarkable of all, though, is that this minor masterpiece of suspense was never released theatrically in the United States, and has never been available before on home video.
