Fear in the Night Star Trek's DeForest Kelley is bank teller Vince Grayson, who has a nightmare about killing an unknown man in a mirrored room, and awakens to the horrifying suspicion that he may really have committed murder. His brother-in-law, cop Cliff Herlihy (Paul Kelly), helps sort it out; director Maxwell Shane adapted the 1947 film from a tale by "William Irish" (Cornell Woolrich) and remade it under its original title, Nightmare, in 1956.
D.O.A. Shot by Oscar-winner Ernest Laszlo (Ship of Fools), this unique noir whodunit stars Edmund O'Brien as a man dying from a slow-acting poison, with cult favorite Beverly Garland (aka Campbell) in her film debut. Frank Bigelow walks into a police station to report his own murder, and recounts how a seemingly random series of events lured him into a fatal web of crime and punishment on his "little vacation" in San Francisco.
The Hitch-Hiker Ocar-winner Edmund O'Brien (The Barefoot Contessa) and Frank Lovejoy star in this noir classic directed by actress Ida Lupino, who also wrote the screenplay with producer and es-husband Collier Young. While on a fishing trip, Roy Collins (O'Brien) and Gilbert Bowen (Lovejoy) stop to pick up Emmet Myers (William Talem), little dreaming that they've invited a killer into their car...and they could be his next victims.
