Frank Bigelow, an L.A. accountant, takes a vacation to San Francisco to relax and womanize for a few days, when he is slipped a slow-acting poison for which there is no antidote. The doctor's prognosis: He has 48 hours to live. Forty-eight hours to find his murderer! Taut landmark film that never lets up for a minute. Great script and beautiful score make this one of the finest noir films ever made.
