Saturday, March 19 - Nightfall

Nightfall (1956)

The artist James "Jim" Vanning meets the model Marie Gardner in a bar, and they have dinner together. When they leave the restaurant, Marie gives her address, but the gangsters John and Red abduct Jim and send Marie home. They want information about a satchel with US$350,000, but Jim tells them that he does not know where it is. They torture Jim, but he escapes and drives to Marie's apartment. He tells her that she is in danger, and he explains that he was camping in the snow in Moose with his friend Dr. Edward Gurston when they saw a car driving off the road. They went to the spot to help the victims, but they are subdued by John and Red. Red shoots and kills the doctor. The criminals believe they are both dead, but Red mistakenly takes the doctor's bag leaving the money behind. When Jim awakes, he flees with the money bag but loses it in the snow. Now the criminals are hunting him while he is also wanted by the police. Meanwhile, the insurance investigator Ben Fraser is also on the track of Jim, but he is curious about his behavior - living a simple life without spending the stolen money.
