Two of Edmond O'Brien's classic features D.O.A. and THE HITCH-HIKER. D.O.A. is the classic drama of suspense with Edmond O'Brien giving one of his finest performances as Frank Bigelow, a real-estate salesman whose life suddenly turns into a bizarre nightmare. InchThis is the City, Los Angeles, CaliforniaInch, intones the narrator of this tense crime drama, THE HITCH-HIKER, told in semi-documentary style. A psychotic killer uses the storm drains of the city to hide from the police. Good performances by the entire cast.
In this hybrid mockumentary, superstar plastic storageware saleswoman Agatha Ruby's rise to capitalistic fame and fortune is undercut by her mysterious death. Through the ensuing murder investigation and interviews of family, friends, and rivals, hidden layers of family, friend, and job complexities are revealed, along with gender bias against women like Aggie, who seek to rise to the very top.
