Johnny Eager (1941)
This starred a young Lana Turner so I watched it and it was surprisingly good. Great story and character development about a really evil man. The outdated lingo is a bit silly but if you like film noir, this is one to watch. Great acting job by Van Heflin, who won an Academy Award as Johnny's drunk suffering friend who symbolizes an angelic voice of reason. And the very end of this movie before it fades to black gives you that "holy shit" type of reaction.
