Please Murder Me (B&W, 1956): "In 55 minutes l will be dead... murdered." Attorney Craig CarIson, sitting in the shadows of his dark office, solemnly dictates this stunning announcement into a tape recorder. Carlson has falIen in Iove with Myra, the wife of his best friend, Joe Leeds. Joe is found dead and Myra is arrested for murder. CarIson defends her at the trial. Things are not aIways as they seem and there are no happy endings for the doomed participants of this tragic triangIe. One year before his Perry Mason show, Raymond Burr plays a simiIar role in this dark, Iow-budget film noir. A young AngeIa Lansbury pIays the femme fataIe, and Dick Foran, veteran of B Westerns and Universal horror movies plays the murder victim Joe Leeds.
A Life at Stake (B&W, 1954): An architect embroiled in an aduIterous affair suspects that he is marked for murder. Building designer Edward Shaw has been making time with Doris, his business partner's wife. After being pressured by the couple to take out a hefty life insurance policy, he narrowIy escapes death in a strange, nearIy fatal accident. Doris's own sister, Madge, divulges that Doris' first husband had died under mysterious circumstances, and Shaw even telIs the police of his suspicions. Torn between his fear of death and his lust for Doris, Shaw nonetheless agrees to meet his Iover in a mountaintop cabin. When her cuckolded husband finaIly appears at the door, hard-drinking Doris brings a gun into the picture, and death arrives shortly thereafter. |
