THE CHASE(1946)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics

You gotta love that Bob!! In this he plays a
guy who's down and out and finds a wallet with
some money in it! He spends a little to eat then
takes the wallet to its owner, a ruthless gangster!
The gangster appreciates the gesture and offers
Bob a job as his chauffeur, which Bob gladly
accepts! This has the great Peter Lorre in it! C+

A review from IMDb.com:

The first time I saw this film, I was mesmerised
by the moody cinematography, the perfect casting
of all the players and the unexpected twists and
turns of the plot. Similar to the Noir classics,
DOUBLE INDEMNITY and OUT OF THE PAST, the hero
(Robert Cummings) is drawn into a web of intrigue
by a beautiful woman (Michele Morgan), but in
this case she turns out to be a legitimate "dream
walking." The film was even better the second
time around, as I could savour the various clues
sprinkled throughout. Even by today's standards,
Steve Cochran, Peter Lorre and their canine
friend have to rank high among the screen's
most vicious heavies. Vastly underrated, THE
CHASE will set your heart a thumping! (According
to the 2001 Maltin MOVIE & VIDEO GUIDE, it is
now available on video) - mbking
