The Big Clock

The Big Clock is a 1948 film noir thriller set in New York City based on the novel by Kenneth Fearing. The black-and-white film was directed by John Farrow and starred Ray Milland. Real-life married couple Elsa Lanchester and Charles Laughton appear in the film, as does Harry Morgan in an early film role as the film's hired thug. The movie is told in flashback. When the movie begins, Stroud (Milland) is shown hiding from the police behind the "big clock" - the largest and most sophisticated clock ever built - which is in the lobby of his publishing company.
