I saw this excellent film noir in its entirety today.
It was great--fast-paced with not a dull moment.
The only thing I hated was the "wolf-whistle" curlicue as Frank Bigelow ogled the women in the hotel.
Y'know, I can't understand why Edmond O'Brien never became an A-list star of the likes of Bogie, Gable, Tracy, Cooper, etc.
He was a terrific actor and even won an Oscar.
But it seemed that he was mostly relegated to supporting roles in films.
D.O.A. may have been his only starring role.
Later in his career, he turned to television, starring in a short-lived lawyer series called SAM BENEDICT.
P.S. I apologize if this movie has been discussed on another thread.
