D.O.A. (1949)

My favorite part of this movie was its great intro, following a lone man on his long walk through the twisty halls of a police station. The rest of the film is a passable film noir with quite the convoluted plot though somewhat unique premise. Edmund O’Brien is Frank Bigelow an everyman accountant and notary public who has been poisoned and is determined to use his last few days of life left to figure out who murdered him and why. He also is saddled with the clingiest girlfriend who interrupts his quest to play passive-aggressive mind games with him over the phone.
