An unfaithful wife and her lover scheme to kill her husband, but things are turned upside down when the lover is unintentionally killed instead! Then, in the best noir tradition, the husband goes into hiding and let's his wife take the rap! With a stellar cast that includes Brian Donlevy, Ella Raines, and Anna Mae Wong, this little noir gem from director Arthur Lubin (The Spider Woman Strikes Back) takes us into the lives of people who are only one kiss away from murder!

An unscrupulous boxer fights his way to the top, but eventually alienates all of the people who helped him on the way up. Unlike Charlie (John Garfield) in Body and Soul, Midge (Kirk Douglas) is not the basic good guy corrupted by the sweet science and led astray by evil managers and promoters, his arrogance and stubbornness make him at once a villain and a hero. Considered by most as one of the greatest boxing films ever made - nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Actor (Douglas) and winner of the Best Film Editing Oscar. The stellar cast includes Arthur Kennedy in his Oscar nominated performance, Marilyn Maxwell, Paul Stewart and Ruth Roman. Two of the film's best features are the terrific black-and-white Oscar nominated cinematography by Franz Planer and the Oscar nominated score by the legendary Dimitri Tiomkin. Written by the great Carl Forman (High Noon) and directed by Mark Robson (The Harder They Fall).

Brian Donlevy is Walter Williams, a wealthy industrialist whose vicious, two-timing wife, Irene and her lover, Jim Torrance, plot Walter's death in an "accidental" car crash.

Assuming a new identity, Williams ends up in a small town in Idaho and begins life over again, falling in love with
