The Big Clock: In this vintage film noir, crime-rag publisher Earl Janoth (Charles Laughton) tries to tag his editor George Stroud (Ray Milland) with the savage murder of the publisher's mistress when he glimpses the editor skulking out of her apartment. The twist to an otherwise familiar tale is that Janoth assigns Stroud to find the killer, even as the clues start pointing right at the editor himself. Based on Kenneth Fearing's novel, the film was remade in 1987 as NO WAY OUT. The novel was adapted for the screen by Harold Goldman. When powerful publisher Earl Janoth arrives at his mistress's apartment, he catches sight of a man leaving the premises. Sick with jealousy, Janoth murders her -- and decides to implicate the man he glimpsed earlier. So, under the guise of business, the magnate orders George Stroud, the editor of a crime magazine, to find the missing person. But what Janoth doesn't realize is that George himself is the man he's trying to frame... | |
