This is film noir at its absolute best. The opening sequence is so ahead of its time and you are gripped from beginning to end.

[walterfechter]

This is a great example of a nightmare in black and white. It's one of the best film noirs of the post WWII era. Excellent cast. Excellent performances. Great director (Rudolph Mate'.) Thanks, Cult Cinema Classics.

This is a masterpiece. The suspense and the tone of the film was kept up to the end. WoW4 What an amazing story, cast direction and music.

Born in 1960 I remember the black and white tv we had when I grew up, Edmond O'Brien was such a great actor, he played in one of Gagneys big hit movies, he's great on this as well. This is a treat. Thank you.

I felt the outdoor city scenes really helped capture the era and Americana. I also especially liked him running through the streets in his initial terror, I thought that was powerful cinematography. Thank you CCC

[jamesbuttery]

The jazz band in the movie was led by saxophone player James Streeter. Other band members were Shifty Henry (bass), Alex “Cake” Wichard (drums), Ray LaRue (piano) and Teddy Buckner (trumpet).

This is the best thing O'Brien ever did. Great script, great movie, as good as film noir every is😊. It's never been done better 😊.

[Dude_on_a_Map]

This was gorgeously shot and paced. A phenomenal film noir, probably my favorite so far. I was glued throughout, lots of action and suspense. 👍

One of the kind....Only the end was sad....And Paula was such a lovely young woman....We close our eyes and go deep in the past...

[Lsquared]

I remember seeing it and being glued to my seat as a kid. Always wanted to see it again. Thanks!

DOA is one of the best in the Film Noir genre. I watch it every once in a while. Also, the settings, Fisherman's Warf in that period, and L.A., with tumbleweeds! Absolutely a Cult Classic!

[adrianlois]

Thank you for this movie, which is the second time I've seen it, I saw it 2 years ago, excellent.

[anians]

Can you believe it Edmond o brien. Played in one of the best western. WILD BUNCH 😊

[sawg]

Good movie! The remake in the 80s wasn't too bad. But i still gotta go with the original.

[sampabrasil]

I can't wait, Edmond Obrien is a 10
