“The Big Clock (Universal Noir Collection)” (John Farrow)
Watched the Big Clock recently
1948.
Crime magazine publisher Earl Janoth (Charles Laughton) tries to pin the murder of his own mistress on the magazine’s editor, George Stroud (Ray Milland), when he discovers George coming out of the woman’s apartment. Things fall into place as all the signs increasingly point to George as the killer, making it that much easier for Earl to set up the editor to take the fall. Based on the novel by Kenneth Fearing.

This has been another edition of “Reviews That Should Have Been Longer, But…”
