The October Man - 1947 - 6/10

After a horrific train accident, Jim suffers a fractured skull and is institutionalized for a year.
Upon release, he makes small steps. A new job, room in a boarding house.
Yet, when one of the roomers is murdered, and with Jim’s history, police suspect him.
Dark looking Noir about the innocent man … or is he innocent?
Fine Hitchcock type, although Hitchcock would give the police half credit for intelligence.
Police in this are especially inept, quick to frame and curtail investigations.
