(NOIR) Fall Guy - 1947 ****

 
                                                  'Fall Guy' is a surprisingly good movie, with a good twist, a steady plot and an appearance from my old favourite Elisha Cook, Jr.
Tom Cochrane is in a bit of a bind - he's woken up after a late night out drinking and is promptly arrested for the murder of a woman at the same bar. The thing is, he doesn't have any memory of murdering or hurting said woman, and things get weirder when he is bailed out of jail by his girlfriend's brother, and they see the dead woman walking down the street. Added to which, the man he spent time with in the bar has no record of him. Is he going mad? Or delusional? Or something else more sinister? Cue a peculiar story that I really enjoyed.
