Johnny O'Clock (Dick Powell) is a junior partner in a posh casino with Guido Marchettis (Thomas Gomez), but is senior in the eyes of Nelle (Ellen Drew) - Guido's wife and Johnny's ex. The love triangle leads to a web of complications, leaving Police inspector Koch (Lee J. Cobb) to unravel the threads of deceit and a murdered casino employee's sister (Evelyn Keyes) to tug on Johnny's heartstrings. Rookie director Robert Rossen strings together tense vignettes - brought vividly to life by cinematographer Burnett Guffey.

Commentary - in this new audio commentary, filmmaker and film historian Jim Hemphill discusses in great detail the progression of Robert Rossen's career, the production of Johnny O'Clock (there is some very interested information about the casino set, which at the time was supposedly the most expensive one built in Hollywood after the wartime restrictions were lifted), the specific characterizaitons the film promotes, the Columbia Noir style, how Johnny O'Clock compares to other films noirs from the same period, etc. It is a very nice commentary.
