The final US film from German master Fritz Lang (Metropolis), is a gripping noir that follows a novelist (Dana Andrews) seeking to expose the injustices of capital punishment. Working with his fiancée's (Joan Fontaine) father, a newspaper publisher (Sidney Blackmer), he frames himself for murder, intending to produce exonerating evidence at the last moment. But the publisher suddenly dies, the evidence is lost and that's only the first twist in a brilliantly layered plot ideally suited to Lang's talents. (1956, 80 mins)
