D.O.A. (1950) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Rudolph Maté

Written by - Russell Rouse, Clarence Greene

Starring - Edmond O'Briend, Pamela Britton

 

"An accountant on vacation gets a dose of lethal, slow acting poison that gives him enough time to investigate and look for the man responsible for his inevitable demise. From the chilling opening shot to the inevitable demise of the lead character, thanks to a refreshingly intelligent premise that never shifts into campy territory regardless of its B movie outlook, this film is one of the best lower budget noirs of its time."
