Man Who Cheated Himself, The (1950) -- (Movie Clip) You're A Big Girl Now Money scenes, as San Francisco police detective Ed (Lee J. Cobb) arrives to calm down his wealthy married lover Lois (Jane Wyatt), who rightly suspects her husband (Harlan Warde), despite having left for the airport, is plotting to kill her, violence and quick thinking ensuing, in The Man Who Cheated Himself, 1951.

Man Who Cheated Himself, The (1950) -- (Movie Clip) He's Bought A Gun We’ve just met John Dall as eager new San Francisco homicide detective Andy Cullen, and Lee J. Cobb as his brother Ed, who’ll be supervising him, and who offers his wedding gift, then phones his anxious married mistress Lois (Jane Wyatt), having deduced that she called earlier, then meets the fianceè Janet (Lisa Howard), early in The Man Who Cheated Himself, 1951.

Man Who Cheated Himself, The (1950) -- (Movie Clip) Looking For Green Coupes Rare location shots of the old toll booth at the Golden Gate Bridge, from producer Jack M. Warner and director Felix E. Feist, as detective Cullen (Lee J. Cobb), who’s just moved the body of her lover’s husband, whom she shot, to the airport, talks with a patrolman (Bud Wolfe) about his also-cop younger brother, The Man Who Cheated Himself, 1951.

Man Who Cheated Himself, The (1950) -- (Movie Clip) Don't Forget To Change Your Will No fooling around in the opening, Harlan Warde as San Franciscan Howard looks to be plotting a crime, and we’re given reason to think it will involve his wife Lois (Jane Wyatt), who intrudes, Felix E. Feist directing, in Columbia’s The Man Who Cheated Himself, 1951, starring Lee J. Cobb, restored in 2018 by Eddie Muller’s Film Noir Foundation.

Threat, The (1949) -- (Movie Clip) Open, Kluger's Out Straight to business, no attempt to disguise the locale (L-A) or the state prison (Folsom), but only Robert Shayne as cop Murphy is properly introduced, though the danger (in the person of un-seen Charles McGraw) is made clear, in The Threat, 1949, directed by Felix Feist, with Michael O’Shea and Virginia Grey.

Threat, The (1949) -- (Movie Clip) I Wouldn't Stand There Thugs Nick and Lefty (Anthony Caruso, Frank Richards) making like friendly painters for cops guarding the office of the DA MacDonald (Frank Conroy), who’s been threatened by escaped killer “Red” Kluger (Charles McGraw), who makes his first to-camera appearance here, in the little-known low-rent Noir The Threat, 1949.

Threat, The (1949) -- (Movie Clip) We Need Gas Escaped killer Kluger (Charles McGraw) is inside the truck, with his hostages, on whom he plots revenge, tied up in a sedan, so his man Lefty (Frank Richards) and hijacked trucker Turner (Don McGuire) are the front-men, encountering cop Kenneth Patterson and grease monkey Peter Duchow, in The Threat, 1949.

Threat, The (1949) -- (Movie Clip) She Spill Anything? Vengeful escaped gangster Kluger (Charles McGraw) is laying into his hostages, the D-A (Frank Conroy) and cop Williams (Michael O’Shea), with help from his goons (Anthony Caruso, Frank Richards), when he makes clear what he’s after from also-abducted ex-girlfriend Carol (Virginia Grey), in The Threat, 1949, directed by Felix Feist.

Tomorrow Is Another Day (1947) -- (Movie Clip) You're Not Through Paying Steve Cochran is inmate Bill, getting his going-away talk from the prison warden Harry Antrim, having evidently spent most of his life incarcerated, not clear what the guy waiting outside (John Kellogg) is up to, opening Tomorrow Is Another Day, 1951, also starring Ruth Roman.

Tomorrow Is Another Day (1947) -- (Movie Clip) You Can't Dance Bill (Steve Cochran), convicted of murder as a pre-teen, just-paroled and having left his hometown due to bad press, now in New York, not familiar with taxi-dancing etiquette, meets Nikki (Lynne Millan) then the more cordial Cay (Ruth Roman), in Tomorrow Is Another Day, 1951.

Tomorrow Is Another Day (1947) -- (Movie Clip) Team Up Or Split Up On the run but not quite committed to each other, after the death of her cop boyfriend, whom she’s allowed to believe he shot, newly-paroled Bill (Steve Cochran) and taxi-dancer Cay (Ruth Roman) have checked into an out-of-the-way motel, in Tomorrow Is Another Day, 1951.

George White's Scandals (1945) -- (Movie Clip) Utter Monstrosity Jack (Haley) visits Joan (Davis) backstage as they try to deal with Clarabelle (Margaret Hamilton) who objects to their romance, and Hilda (Rose Murphy) offers consolation in George White's Scandals, 1945.

Threat, The (1949) -- (Original Trailer) RKO’s relatively compelling, plot-driven trailer for the 1949 Noir programmer The Threat, with Michael O’Shea, Virginia Grey, Charles McGraw and Julie Bishop.
