***1947 "B" Film | CLICK HERE to purchase a Double Feature ticket option for The Unsuspected & Blind Spot***
A perfect example of the ingenious, low-rent glory of "B" movies. Veteran Columbia star Chester Morris snuck away from his popular "Boston Blackie" series to deliver a terrific performance as a hard-luck writer accused of murdering his publisher. Twists and turns come fast and furious as he tries to puzzle his way out of the tightening noose. Costarring gorgeous Constance Dowling and an array of familiar film noir mugs.
