On Wednesday, November 12, Movies @ Old Town Hall is proud to present D.O.A., directed by Rudolph Maté, 1949.

A doomed man races against time to find out who poisoned him in this classic film noir. Accountant Frank Bigelow (Edmond O'Brien) arrives in San Francisco for a brief vacation and visits a local dive, where a mysterious stranger slips him a mickey of "luminous toxin" that leaves Bigelow with less than a week to live. In a desperate attempt to locate his murderer, Bigelow embarks on a lurid odyssey of double-dealing, betrayal and murder that leads to a nightmarish climax.

D.O.A. is 83 minutes long and unrated.
