Small-town accountant Frank Bigelow goes to San Francisco for a week's fun prior to settling down with fiancée Paula. After a night on the town, he wakes up with more than just a hangover; doctors tell him he's been given a "luminous toxin" with no antidote and has, at most, a week to live! Not knowing who did it or why, Bigelow embarks on a frantic odyssey to find his own murderer.

  • boy i see things haven't changed much, women were suckers for men more so back then..as they are now...some women anyway..

  • This movie has very strong existential themes relating to Buber's I-It relation.

  • this original version is a lot better than the newer one. This one sustains an atmosphere of desperation and opression as I never seen again. Remember that this movie has almost 60 years.

  • I think the "luminous toxin" with "no antidote" mentioned was meant to be an easy way for that time (1950) to say he recieved a lethal does of radiation poison. Dennis Quaid did star in a remake with Meg Ryan around 1990. In it, he received a lethal dose from unknowingly swallowing a capsule of (strotium90?) given to him by his plagerizing muderer.

  • Wasn't this remade with Dennis Quaid. I've not seen this but I want to. I saw the Dennis Quaid one years ago, and it was good!! Thanks. I hope I can find this, as I love old movies.
