****SPOILERS*** More like his previous movie D.O.A then the film it's based on "The Man who Lived Twice" Enmund O'Brian is gangster Steve Rawley who's undergone court order brain experimental surgery to cure his aggressive and anti-social tendencies. The operation worked but it obliterated Rawley's memory. One of the things that it also obliterated is his memory of where he hid the $130,000.00 he and his fellow crooks Lefty Arrnie & Cookie, Ted de Corsia Horace McMahon & Nick Dennis, ripped off in a payroll robbery.
Kidnapped off the grounds of the hospital where he's recuperating by Lefty Arnie & Cookie Rawley is worked over in order to find where he hid the payroll money only to get absolutely nothing out of him since his memory has been wiped clean because of his brain operation. It's Rawly squeeze or moll Peg Benedict, Audrey Totter, who realizes that he's telling the truth and rekindles her hot and heavy affair with him not to get the money but him in, the the totally confused Rawley, in the sack together with her.
Originally filmed in 3D and it shows in many of the scenes in the movie "Man in the Dark" especially it's heart dropping final at the Ocean Park, in Santa Monica, Amusement Park. Edmund O'Brain as the confused Steve Rawley recreates his role as Frank Bigelow in D.O.A as a man on he run and does it, he had a lot of experience by then, picture perfectly. Ted de Corsia is also perfect as the greedy and at times brainless tug Lefty who as much as he would love to do in Rawley can't until he finds out where he hid the loot that Rawley has no memory of. Audrey Totter turns out to be the gun moll with a heart of gold in forgetting about the stolen loot and just wanting to get back with her former lover, who has absolutely no idea who she is, Steve Rawley and screw the money and live happily after after together with him. But it's the 3D special effects that's the real star of the film with or without 3D capacity on your TV screen that makes the movie as good and exciting as it is.
