Two O'Clock Courage

An amnesiac must prove himself innocent of murder in this twisty noir mystery from director Anthony Mann, starring Tom "The Falcon" Conway and Ann Rutherford (Inside Job). On the corner of a fog-bound street, a disoriented man (Conway) is nearly run down when he stumbles in front of a taxi. Unable to recall his name or past, he soon discovers that a man answering his description is wanted for murder. Aided by the cab's cynical driver (Rutherford), the suspect poses as a reporter to solve the crime even though all clues point to his guilt. Anticipating the atmospheric trappings of Mann's classic film noirs (T-Men, Raw Deal), Two O'Clock Courage is a unique combination of genre archetypes and banter, and features future femme fatale Jane Greer (Out of the Past) in her first credited screen role. (1945)
