^^I like the way that scene you described sounds. I've got the movie on DVD; need to watch it
Thanks to Skyvue sending me a download, I was able to see Dick Powell in Johnny O'Clock (Columbia, 1946). Powell's character is on the wrong side of the law, but he was debonair enough to have you rooting for him. Good supporting cast, including Lee J. Cobb, Thomas Gomez (billed as S. Thomas Gomez) beautiful Evelyn Keyes, and beautiful Ellen Drew. Powell's characterization was, for me, a cross between his roles in Cornered and Murder, My Sweet; some wise-cracking, but a certain level of seriousness, too. Of all the Powell Noirs/Crime films I've seen, this ties for second with Cry Danger (Murder, My Sweet is #1).
