Starring Ray Milland, Charles Laughton, Maureen O’Sullivan
One of the finest suspense thrillers of the 1940s, THE BIG CLOCK stars Ray Milland as a hapless crime-magazine editor plunged into a web of danger when he begins being systematically framed for murder by his megalomaniac boss (played by a marvelously menacing, mustachioed Charles Laughton). Based on the classic noir novel by Kenneth Fearing, this ingeniously plotted twist on the wrong-man mystery boasts a striking visual design that turns a sleek Manhattan office building into a labyrinth of paranoia.
