Description:

D.O.A. stars Edmond O'Brien as small-town accountant Frank Bigelow who, while in San Francisco for some fun prior to settling down with his fiance, wakes up after a night on the town with more than a hangover. Doctors tell him he's been given a luminous toxin for which there is no antidote and that he has a week left to live at most. Desperately retracing his steps over the past twenty-four hours, Frank embarks on a frantic odyssey to find his own murderer. The 1988 remake was also entitled D.O.A., with Dennis Quaid in the starring role. Widely considered a classic of its genre, D.O.A. is a film noir drama at its best.
