“Delirious descent into the maelstrom of ’40s film noir as a small town businessman trades dull days and a loyal lover for a fling in the jazz nights of San Francisco. Maté shoots fast and always to the point as he drives his protagonist through endless doorways and rooms which are like trapdoors and boxes in an accelerating nightmare.”

This original classic noir stars Edmond O’Brien as the man who must track down his own killer. This screening will be introduced by music and cinema legend John Doe, followed closely by a screening of the 2022 D.O.A. remake starring John Doe himself.
