Yesterday I viewed two very good classics back-to-back that I had never seen before.
The first black and white film titled “The Man Who Cheated Himself” starred Jane Wyatt and Lee J. Cobb- both actors I am well familiar with on television.
This fully entertaining noir centered around a woman during getting a divorce who impulsively shoots and kills her husband while her police lieutenant boyfriend covers up the crime.
Things seem to go along well but the lieutenant has a meddling fellow police officer in the force who also happens to be his brother.
This partner of the lieutenant is determined to put together the missing pieces that involve the murder.
The second film titled “This Woman Is Dangerous” starred Joan Crawford, Dennis Morgan and David Brian.
It was a crime drama based on a clever woman with a current and history of breaking the law.
After undergoing a major surgical procedure, she and the doctor who performed the surgery get romantically involved- which sets her insanely jealous boyfriend off into a rage
With the FBI on the trail of her and her boyfriend and two other accomplices (his brother and sister in-law) Joan Crawford’s character is surely in for a dangerous situation!
