A man staggers into a police office to report a murder…his own. He’s been poisoned with an antidote-less poison, and he spends the rest of the film trying to convince the police what’s happened and trying to figure out who poisoned him and why. It’s all tied up with various crime rings and such, I forget the details. Overall, it’s a solid but not outstanding 1950s noirish crime film. Definitely skip its 1988 remake, though.
