The Big Nowhere #5 – Shield for Murder (dir. Edmond O’Brien and Howard W. Koch, 1954)

This week on The Big Nowhere we look at Edmond O’Brien and Howard W. Koch’s ‘bad cop’ film, SHIELD FOR MURDER.

The trope under the microscope in this instalment of The Big Nowhere, seen through the lens of NAKED ALIBI: fleeing to Mexico.

For this issue of The Big Nowhere we look at poverty row heist film PLUNDER ROAD.

For the second instalment of THE BIG NOWHERE, Andrew Nette looks at little known prison break film CRASHOUT.

Lewis Milestone’s largely unknown THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS epitomises one key trope of the film noir: the bad town.
