Accountant Frank Bigelow (Edmund O'Brien) arrives in San Francisco for a brief vacation and visits a local dive, the Fisherman's Club, where a mysterious stranger slips him a mickey of "luminous toxin" that leaves Bigelow with less than a week to live! In a desperate attempt to locate his murderer, Bigelow embarks on a lurid odyssey of double-dealing, betrayal and murder that leads to a nightmarish climax. Review: One OF The best Film Noir's Ever Made! - D.O.A. starts off with one hell of a bang a hulky and overwhelmed Edmund O'Brien musters his way into a ploice station. As h emakes his way through the marble paved floors and pass the columns and the passage ways he finally arrives at the end of his journey. The journey to get him there is one that is so tight and compelling that when O'Brien announces that he has already been murdered the film turns into to a stark tail of death and lust told in flashback! O'Brien is Frank Bigelow an accountant who takes a trip to forget about his lover and just have a casual afair or two while in San Francisco. While in San Francisco heh finds a few hot ladies at his hotel and then he is whisked away to a Jazz club where he is poisoned and there isn't as antidote! the film moves ahead at whiplash speed from here. Shadows are cast over O'Briens hulking frame and sweat pours over his brow as he begins his trek to find his killer. th eplot and dialogue is as tight as any top grade Noir. But the most shoking element of the whole film is O'Brien he never once lets the viewer down he follows through with pure human emotion and if it seems like he is over actingn to some he is just playing a real life scenario oout on screen if you wer just poisoned would you be calm! Excellent Noir's have all the elements of the past from the sharp cut suits to the sheen of the telephones and with D.O.A. O'Brien seems to make all these elements seem ever more stark and fleeting with the fact that O'Brien is dying his precious reunion with the love he left for a good time seems more like fate instead of like the last time he will be in complete bliss! O'Brein is so powerful and commanding that i nver wanted him to die even though i knew it was inevitable now that makes the film as a whole a masterpiece! Review: this movie proves that you don't always need a big budget and major studio to make a great pic. The location filming in these B - A film classic from the B Studios of the late 1940s if there ever was one. Along with "Detour" and a few others, this movie proves that you don't always need a big budget and major studio to make a great pic. The location filming in these B pictures not only helped keep the costs down, and keep the cheap look from showing off a shoe string budget, the writing is what made these films classics, interesting story-line and great plot twists kept the tale fast paced and never dull, though at times the main plot has to take a few reality breaks, those viewers who are a tad to cerebral for these kind of movies will have to take a vacation from over analyzing and just enjoy, otherwise pass it by. For once, the film is in excellent shape, a crisp new print, and a perfect transfer to DVD. If you don't have this, or have never seen it, don't pass it by. A real winner in every way. Great view. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00008G8WR | | Actors | Edmond O'Brien | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #75,715 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #3,839 in Mystery & Thrillers (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (187) | | Director | Rudolph Mate | | Item model number | ALVI6114DVD | | MPAA rating | Unrated (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Black & White, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | October 20, 2022 | | Run time | 1 hour and 23 minutes | | Studio | Alpha Video | ## Images ![D.O.A. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611+eX6k-HL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One OF The best Film Noir's Ever Made! *by A**** on September 29, 2001* D.O.A. starts off with one hell of a bang a hulky and overwhelmed Edmund O'Brien musters his way into a ploice station.

I purchased the versions from ROAN and Image Entertainment (because those were the two versions that looked best from the five versions that DVD Beaver reviewed on his website). After comparing the two, I definitely prefer the ROAN version. If you want to purchase a dvd of D.O.A. and are unsure between the ROAN and Image Entertainment versions, I suggest you get the ROAN, for I liked it better than the Image Entertainment version. My 4-star rating is for the ROAN dvd of D.O.A. (and NOT for the Image Entertainment one). If this was a regular movie, this ROAN dvd definitely would not have gotten 4 stars, cuz the quality is subpar compared to a normal movie. But the key point is that D.O.A. is not a normal movie: it is a public-domain movie, and there are so many awful dvd versions out there. SO, CONSIDERING THAT THIS IS A PUBLIC-DOMAIN MOVIE AND THERE ARE SO MANY AWFUL DVD'S OUT THERE, I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE ROAN DVD IS A PRETTY SOLID ONE. p.s. on the ROAN dvd, there is a bonus feature with Beverly Garland telling a story about what happened after D.O.A. was nominated for an Academy Award. There is just one problem: D.O.A. was never nominated for an Academy Award! As for the movie itself, I really like it very much, Edmund O'Brien is terrific! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/133792634-d-o](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/133792634-d-o) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
