Thanks for posting this. I loved All the King’s Men and The Hustler, but I’ve never even heard of Johnny O’Clock.
Noir with Dick Powell? Great stuff. I looked it up on IMDB, and Lee J. Cobb is in it, too. Sounds like a goodie.

Anybody watch and enjoy any of these? I fell asleep halfway through Johnny O’Clock because of the lateness of the hour but up until I lost consciusness I was really liking it.
