"D.O.A."(1950. 84 min.) - Breathlessly paced, delirious descent into urban decadence. Time is ticking after someone has slipped Frank Bigelow (Edmund O’ Brien) a mickey. With just days to live, a mild-mannered accountant begins a frantic quest to solve his own murder. With Pamela Britton.

The film begins with what a BBC reviewer called "perhaps one of cinema's most innovative opening sequences." The scene is a long, behind-the-back tracking sequence featuring Frank Bigelow (Edmond O'Brien) walking through the hallway of a police station to report his own murder. Oddly, the police almost seem to have been expecting him and already know who he is. A flashback begins with Bigelow in his hometown of Banning, California where he is an accountant and notary public. He decides to take a one-week vacation in San Francisco, but this does not sit well with Paula Gibson (Pamela Britton), his confidential secretary and girlfriend, as he does not want her to accompany him.
