6/10
A good excuse to not remember.
6 November 2015
Warning: Spoilers
B film-noir from Columbia Pictures and director Lew Landers. Dependable character actor Edmond O'Brien plays Steve Rawley, a gangster who agrees to undergo experimental brain surgery to alter his criminal activities and erase his memories. Rawley masterminded a payroll robbery and hid the spoils before being nabbed. Steve's old buddies don't believe his new situation and try to beat the information out of him. They desperately want their share of the payroll. I guess in the world of crime, amnesia is no excuse. Some of Rawley's memories come back; maybe bits and pieces can lead to the hidden money. Rawley's old girlfriend Peg(Audrey Totter)wants him to leave the stash alone and just run away to a brand new life. It is not going to end that easily.

Other players: Horace McMahon, Ted de Corsia, Nick Dennis, Mickey Simpson, Ruth Warren and Dayton Lummis.
