The Big ClockMilland is the reporter sent by his editor Laughton to investigate the murder of his mistress, only to find himself framed for the deed that he soon realizes was committed by his boss. Seemingly with no way out, Milland races against time to prove his innocence and bring Laughton to justice. Providing the inspiration for Kevin Costner's No Way Out, The Big Clock is a crackingly original thriller tightly directed by Farrow. Milland is perfect as the man in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Laughton as his menacing boss has rarely been better.
