Great turn by Edmond O'Brien as a man poisoned and with only two days to live at best. Now he has to solve the mystery behind his impending murder. Plenty of twists and turns makes this a gripping film noir. Remade in 1988 as the equally entertaining film by the same name with Dennis Quaid.

D.O.A. was directed by a cinematographer and it shows. It's one of the best looking Noirs filmed in high contrast black and white with Edmond O'Brien is interestingly cast out of his usual whiter than white type. The only blemish is the bizarre use of a comedy flute noise every time he encounters a member of the opposite sex, which as you can imagine does not sit very well with the otherwise grimly dark atmosphere. A great concept, well executed and far better than the gimmicky remake.
