An amnesiac must prove himself innocent of murder in this twisty noir mystery from director Anthony Mann, starring Tom "The Falcon" Conway and Ann Rutherford (Inside Job). On the corner of a fog-bound street, a disoriented man (Conway) is nearly run down when he stumbles in front of a taxi. Unable to recall his name or past, he soon discovers that a man answering his description is wanted for murder. Aided by the cab's cynical driver (Rutherford), the suspect poses as a reporter to solve the crime even though all clues point to his guilt. Anticipating the atmospheric trappings of Mann's classic film noirs (T-Men, Raw Deal), Two O'Clock Courage is a unique combination of genre archetypes and banter, and features future femme fatale Jane Greer (Out of the Past) in her first credited screen role.
