In terms of thriller / noir, John Farrow's The Big Clock (1948), is not to be confused with the Judy Garland, Robert Walker film, The Clock, which concerned a smaller timepiece.
While Ray Milland is the technical lead here, Charles Laughton turns in a superb performance. Probably a good time to make note of one of the many extras, from Arrow, an interesting doc by Simon Callow on Mr. Laughton's career. It's worthwhile.
A fine film, in nice form, with a pleasingly cinema-like image, and quality audio. Appears to be derived from a fine grain master.
Nary a problem in sight, and absolutely worth your time, and effort.
I seem to be going through a slew of product recently, that either doesn't stand the test of time, or was never terribly good in first release.
The Big Clock is a big exception.
