So strong is her intuition that she soon begins searching for the intended victim to try and save him. "The Guilt Of Janet Ames" (1947) Director: Henry Levin, Based on story by Lenore J Coffee, Stars Rosalind Russell, Melvyn Douglas. Approximately 82 Minutes American drama starring Rosalind Russell as a bitter war widow who sets out to find the five men whose lives were saved by the sacrifice of her husband in WW II, and judge whether they are worthy. "The Black Book" aka "The Reign Of Terror" (1949) Director: Antony Mann, Stars Robert Cummings, Richard Basehart, Approximately 89 Minutes Also known as Reign of Terror, The Black Book is a bold effort by director Anthony Mann to film a French Revolution epic on a "B" detective picture budget. Robert Cummings stars as Charles D'Aubigny, who has been engaged by a group of political moderates to retrieve a little black book from Revolutionary leader Robespierre (Richard Basehart). The book allegedly contains evidence that Robespierre has been acting in his own interest rather than on behalf of the new government. D'Aubigny is compelled to deal with the tangible threat of Robespierre's chief henchman (Charles McGraw) as well as his uncertainty concerning the loyalties of those working with him. The Black Book is retrieved, but not before Robespierre has self-destructed on his own. The cheapness of The Black Book works in its favor, especially its overuse of shadows; while this photographic device was intended to disguise the seediness of the sets, it accurately conveys a "dark" period in French history that here is literally as well as figuratively dark. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi "Johnny Allegro" (1945) Director: Ted Tetzlaff, Screenplay by Karen DeWolf, Guy Endore, Stars: George Raft, Nina Foch, George Macready, Will Geer Approximately 80 Minutes Johnny Allegro played by George Raft is a former mobster who has gone over to the other side, now works for U.S. Treasury Department as undercover agent.

O'Brien's bookie boss Barry Kelly wants to get instant results from the nation's racetracks, and to this end O'Brien illicitly plugs into several communication centers. The wealthier O'Brien becomes, the more scruples he sheds. Eventually he runs afoul of the Big Boss of an Eastern bookie syndicate (Otto Kruger) and vainly attempts to escape with his life in a slam-bang final at Boulder Dam. 711 Ocean Drive was made to cash in on a then-current national newspaper expose of bookmaking operations.
