This famous film-noir murder mystery features an inventive twist: the victim as "detective," desperately trying to solve his own murder.

 

With Edmond O'Brien, Pamela Britton, Luther Adler. Frank Bigelow .

 

Small-town accountant Frank Bigelow goes to San Francisco for a week's fun prior to settling down with fiancée Paula. After a night on the town, he wakes up with more than just a hangover; doctors tell him he's been given a "luminous toxin" with no antidote and has, at most, a week to live! Not knowing who did it or why, Bigelow embarks on a frantic odyssey to find his own murderer

 

"It’s a snappy mystery trapped in between murder and death, and it stands as one of the finest of the post-war B thrillers." —David Cornelius, E-Film Critic
