TWO SHARP KNIVES(1949)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics

And another Studio One film! In this one we have
again all the commercials by Westinghouse! A
man gets off a train to meet up with his ex-
wife and promptly gets arrested for murder in
another city! He gets booked in the local jail
and in the morning he's found hanging in the
cell! This is a pretty good twisted but sad
tale! B

A review from IMDb.com:

A man steps off the train with his ten-year-old
daughter, expecting to find the wife he hasn't
seen since the girl was born. Instead, he meets
the chief of police, who recognizes his face
from a wanted poster. The man is shocked.
Supposedly he is wanted in Philadelphia for
the murder of a man he's never heard of. But
the small-town chief is no fool. Something
stinks about the wanted poster, the murder
rap and everything else. He'll endure the
dirty politics of a dishonest district
attorney, a murder made to look like a
suicide, and a betrayal by a trusted
friend, before he learns the truth.

Dashiell Hammett's short story becomes
solid TV drama, an unpredictable, hard-bitten
murder mystery with a sympathetic police
chief-hero. - J. Spurlin
