D.O.A.

D.O.A. (1950) – It has a great premise and some good noir atmosphere, but the writing and direction aren’t so hot—it gets off to a plodding start, it’s got an overdramatic script full of stilted dialogue, the overly convoluted plot is hard to get into, some of the acting is horrendous, the protagonist isn’t sympathetic even though he’s been murdered, and those wolf-whistles are completely unforgivable. 5
