Call Northside 777 (1948)
This is one of a string of reality-type movies exploring actual crimes that were released in the late 40s and established a trend that still surfaces once in a while showing a crusading reporter trying to prove a suspect is not guilty. Because we have likely seen...

Not Guilty? Yeah, and I've got some lake front property in Arizona to sell, too.
This one has been around for a while -- since 1948, in fact. The trouble is that not that many people bother to rent or buy "old black and white movies" no matter how good they are. No matter how hard I try, I can't get my daughter to watch them with me on purpose. When, however, she watches one... Read full review »

Film noir, a classic film style of the '40s and '50s, is noted for its dark themes, stark camera angles and high-contrast lighting. Comprising many of Hollywood's finest films, film noir tells realistic stories about crime, mystery, femme fatales and moral conflict. When a classified ad grabs the attention of Chicago Times editor Brian Kelly (Lee J. Cobb), he sends ace reporter P.J. McNeal (James Stewart) to dig up new evidence in the 11-year-old case of a cop killer: It appears that Frank Wiecek (Richard Conte) has taken a fall, and been wrongly imprisoned for the murder. Although hard-nosed McNeal is initially skeptical, he eventually believes that Wiecek was, in fact, a patsy. And although McNeal hits one dead end after another, the avid newsman never gives up the search for justice for the innocent Wiecek.
