Warner Bros. Film Noir Double Feature: Homicide / The House Across the Street

His pursuit of the truth leads to a tense desert showdown with a gangster (Robert Alda) and his hoods, in "Homicide." Helen Westcott, Monte Blue co-star. Then, when he refuses to lay off his journalistic crusade against a racketeer (Bruce Bennett), a managing editor (Wayne Morris) finds himself busted down to lonelyhearts columnist.
