Johnny O'Clock

Johnny O'Clock (Dick Powell) is a junior partner in a posh casino with Guido Marchettis (Thomas Gomez), but is senior in the eyes of Nelle (Ellen Drew) - Guido's wife and Johnny's ex. The love triangle leads to a web of complications, leaving Police inspector Koch (Lee J. Cobb) to unravel the threads of deceit and a murdered casino employee's sister (Evelyn Keyes) to tug on Johnny's heartstrings. Rookie director Robert Rossen strings together tense vignettes - brought vividly to life by cinematographer Burnett Guffey. (Powerhouse Films)
