Academy Award-winner Humphrey Bogart is a tough ex-GI looking for the guys that murdered his war buddy, played by William Prince, in "Dead Reckoning" (1947), one of the moodiest noir classics ever to hit the screen. Hunting for clues, Bogart finds the ex-girlfriend of his buddy, played by Lizabeth Scott, who sings in a club owned by Morris Carnovsky's brutal gangster. Suddenly trapped in a world of lies and intrigue, the former GI must decide if he can trust the charming chanteuse or if she's merely setting him up for an endgame.
