Crack-Up (1946)
After a train wreck sends art critic George Steele (Pat OâBrien) into a mental tailspin, heâs fired from his job at a New York art museum. Seems unjust â until you learn there was no train wreck. This relentless, nervy film noir explores the sinister world of violence and the monied world of aesthetics as Steeleâs attempt to reconstruct what really happened leads him to murder, mania and an international conspiracy that threatens the museumâs masterpieces. Herbert Marshall (Foreign Correspondent, The Letter) joins the hunt as a mysterious Brit whoâs awfully chummy with the cops. And noir great Claire Trevor (Murder, My Sweet; Key Largo) plays Steeleâs sweetheart, a savvy journalist who may know more a lot more than sheâs telling.
