D.O.A.
D.O.A. 1950 Movie DVD
This DVD of the 1950 classic mystery movie D.O.A. has been digitally re-mastered to maintain the original retro/classic scratched look and feel of the original movie that was so common at the time of its creation.
D.O.A. (1950) is a film noir drama film directed by Rudolph considered a classic of the stylistic genre.
The frantically-paced plot revolves around a doomed man's quest to find out who has poisoned him and why before he dies. The film begins with a scene called "perhaps one of cinema's most innovative opening sequences" by a BBC reviewer. The scene is a long, behind-the-back tracking sequence featuring Frank Bigelow (O'Brien) walking through a hallway into a police station to report a murder: his own.
Disconcertingly, the police almost seem to have been expecting him and already know who he is. |
