Yes, this was originally made in the 1940's and one of the cast was none other than Deforest Kelly of Fear In The Night. After doing this one, Dr. McCoy moved on out of this remake. Edward G. Robinson replaces Paul Kelly as top billing and Kevin MCCarthy replaces Dr. McCoy. This one features more music as there is an orchestra on hand.
It is solid as Stan thinks he is dreaming he killed someone he actually did kill. While a bit thread bare as a plot, it does work. There is always so much doubt when a dream killer turns out to be a real killer.
Robinson and McCarthy are in top form here and definitely play off each other well. Being a film noir, this one keeps the real murderer loose until the end of the movie. The ending is a song, maybe a swan song though this one did get remade again on a 2012 television program.
If you like noir, it would be benefit to see both earlier films. It would satisfy your urge for this type of film for a while. This one is pretty good.
