DOA  (1950)

Small-town accountant Frank Bigelow goes to San Francisco for a week's fun prior to settling down with fiancée Paula. After a night on the town, he wakes up with more than just a hangover; doctors tell him he's been given a "luminous toxin" with no antidote and has, at most, a week to live! Not knowing who did it or why, Bigelow embarks on a frantic odyssey to find his own murderer.  Compelling little film noir obviously made on a low budget, though still is impressive today. O'Brien plays a CPA who was given a slow-acting toxic poison and tries to solve who gave it to him and why before times run out. Performances are definitely first-rate, however as the mystery unfolds it becomes exciting to follow. Remade in 1988.

A picture as excitingly different as its title! 

Doomed to Die

Shipping magnate Cyrus Wentworth, downcast over a disaster to his ocean liner 'Wentworth Castle' (carrying, oddly enough, an illicit shipment of Chinese bonds) is shot in his office...at the very moment of kicking out his daughter's fiance Dick Fleming. Of course, Captain Street arrests Dick, but reporter Bobbie Logan, the attractive thorn in Street's side, is so convinced he's wrong that she enlists the help of detective James Lee Wong to find the real killer.

Swamp Women

A plucky police woman infiltrates a group of hardened female criminals who are planning to break jail and retrieve their loot of diamonds from its swampy hiding place. Complications arise when the women abduct Connors and begin fighting each other. Swamp Women, produced in 1955, was the first film ever directed by Roger Corman. Flaming passions against a background of weird adventure! The film follows undercover police officer Lee Hampton after she infiltrates a prison, befriends three female convicts, and helps them all escape. In reality, this planned escape is part of a larger plot to find a diamond stash hidden deep within the swamps of Louisiana. Small boats can run forever on a tank full  of gas, and can accommodate supplies for a party of six for many days.

British Intelligence (1940)

During WWI pretty German master spy Helene von Lorbeer is sent undercover to London to live with the family of a high-placed British official where she is to rendezvous with the butler Valdar, also a spy, and help him transmit secret war plans back to Germany.  This is not a film for casual viewing. Pay close attention from the very beginning and you will be rewarded by being able to follow the twists and turns as this intelligently scripted, complex plot unfolds.  Boris Karloff plays a domestic servant involved in espionage during World War I, in a film that is filled with so many double agents that you won't be able to figure out who is on which side until the film ends.

Mr. Moto's Last Warning

A Japanese man claiming to be Mr Moto, of the International Police, is abducted and murdered soon after disembarking from a ship at Port Said in Egypt. The real Mr Moto is already in Port Said, investigating a conspiracy against the British and French governments. The dead man was his colleague, impersonating him to throw the conspirators off his scent. Mr Moto recognises one of the conspirators as a British Secret Service agent, and together they discover that the gang have mined the harbour in preparation for the arrival of the French fleet. Their aim is to throw the blame onto the British, which may start a second World War.
