Stranger on the 3rd Floor

(1940) Peter Lorre, John McGuire, Elisha Cook Jr. Dir: Boris Ingster
A reporter suffers doubts when his testimony convicts a young criminal, then he himself is wrongly accused of murder. Considered by some to be the first film noir, this is a B movie well above its station. Dream sequence is excellent; it is limited by its resources, but is intriguing viewing.
DDDD
Sadly the only clip I could find for this one seems to be in Spanish. But this is the most famous sequence, stick with it and you'll see why...
