Highway Dragnet 1954 film noir. Richard Conte, Joan Bennett, star in this full length film noir crime drama movie. A recently discharged Marine sergeant visiting an old friend in Los Angeles gets framed for the murder of a fading fashion model. One of my favorite Richard Conte movies, though the entire cast does a good job, the final scene with the Salton Sea as the backdrop was unique for a 1950s film noir movie. - Broken Trout - Broken Trout Movies

The daughter of a mayoral candidate had visited the blackmailer that day, and is brought in for questioning. A newspaper editor, who does not want that candidate to win, visits Lt. Carson and pressures him to tarnish the daughter's reputation until the election is decided. Carson resists.

The corrupt medical officer takes orders from the editor, and is commanded to get the body out of the police station before anyone else learns that the blackmailer was poisoned before being shot. Some slapstick comedy ensues during attempts to smuggle the body out of the station. After further plot complications, the murderer and his motives are revealed. The mayoral candidate's daughter is cleared of suspicion before her father's chance in the election is ruined.

Written as a love letter to classic noir films and detective tales, this story embraces the gritty, hard-boiled dialogue and smoke-filled narration that define the genre.

In a city where neon lights flicker through the perpetual night, casting long shadows over rain-slicked streets, Evan walks the line between man and machine, past and present. The world around him hums with technology—cold, indifferent, and often deadly. But beneath the chrome and circuitry, the same old darkness lurks, a darkness that has already taken so much from him.
As he delves deeper, Evan uncovers dark plots designed to control the population, with corporate hands pulling the strings behind the scenes. Each clue, each lead, drags him further into a web of deceit, where power is wielded through technology and truth is buried under layers of secrecy. But in this city of tech and shadows, where the future collides with the past, Evan knows he must keep pushing forward, no matter how high the stakes or how deep the darkness, because in the end, it’s the only thing that keeps him sane.
A new tale of grit and intrigue from Dominic Sterling.

If you like this movie and our channel, please subscribe: https://goo.gl/0qDmXe | "A Life at Stake" is an American Film Noir directed by Paul Guilfoyle. The film is also known as "Key Man".

Down-on-his-luck Los Angeles architect and builder Edward Shaw (Keith Andes) is approached by Doris Hillman (Angela Lansbury) with a business proposal: buying land together, on which he would build houses that she would then sell, using her experience as a former real estate broker. Her husband, Gus Hillman, a wealthy businessman, would be willing to contribute half a million dollars as capital for the venture.

Doris quickly seems interested in more than a purely professional relationship. Shaw starts an affair with her and accepts the business offer. However, an accidental discovery leaves him convinced that the Hillmans' interest lies less in the long-term profits of the venture than in the $175,000 key man insurance policy he took on himself as a precondition for the deal, and that an attempt on his life is imminent.

Madge, the younger sister of Doris, develops a romantic interest in Shaw as well. Without knowing what Doris has planned, she reveals to Shaw that her sister was married previously to a man who died in Wyoming when his car crashed over a bridge. Shaw ends up drugged by Gus Hillman and barely keeps his car from going off a cliff.

The police are skeptical about his story and the insurance company refuses to cancel the policy, Hillman having portrayed Shaw as a man who is trying to steal his wife. Madge teams with Shaw to try to foil her sister's scheme, but Doris lures him to a mountain cabin and shoots him with a gun. A wounded Shaw sees both Hillmans struggle then fall to their deaths through a clifftop doorway, just minutes before Madge and the cops arrive.

---

Directed by Paul Guilfoyle, produced by A.C. Burger (associate producer), Charles Maxwell (executive producer) and Hank McCune (producer), written by Russ Bender (screenplay) and Hank McCune (story idea), starring Angela Lansbury as Doris Hillman, Keith Andes as Edward Shaw, Douglass Dumbrille as Gus Hillman, Claudia Barrett as Madge Neilan, Jane Darwell as Landlady, Gavin Gordon as Sam Pearson, Charles Maxwell as Lt. Hoff, William Henry as Myles Norman, Kathleen Mulqueen as Mary, Dan Sturkie as Officer Biff, Jeane Wood as Mabel, the maid and Robert Haver as Mechanic.

As requested by many here is a smooth film noir jazz mix with rain and period city street sounds. Spend a rainy night in a seedy noir detective office listening to smooth jazz as the city lives and breathes outside the window. To be used for relaxation, inspiration, and imagination.
