\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SINGAPORE <\/em><\/strong>(1947)<\/strong> \u2014 In pre-war Singapore, Matt Gordon (FRED MACMURRAY) falls in love with the beautiful Linda Grahome (AVA GARDNER), but loses contact with her when the Japanese attack. Five years later, he returns to Singapore to retrieve a fortune in smuggled pearls and accidentally reconnects with Linda, now married to rich planter Van Leyden (ROLAND CULVER) and suffering from amnesia.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

JOHNNY STOOL PIGEON<\/em><\/strong> (1949)<\/strong> \u2014San Francisco-based Treasury agent George Morton (HOWARD DUFF) goes undercover to break up a narcotics ring. Johnny Evans (DAN DURYEA) is a convict in Alcatraz who makes a deal with George, becoming the titular “stool pigeon.” Terry Stewart (SHELLEY WINTERS) is the ringleader’s feisty moll who gets involved in the sting.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

THE RAGING TIDE<\/em> (1951)<\/strong> \u2014 A San Francisco gangster is rubbed out by rival Bruno Felkin (RICHARD CONTE), who himself reports the crime of Homicide Lieutenant Kelsey (STEPHEN MCNALLY) in an alibi scheme which fails. To escape, he stows away on a fishing boot, where skipper Hamil Linder (CHARLES BICKFORD) receives Bruno kindly. Later, Bruno enlists Hamil’s son Carl (ALEX NICOL) to do his dirty work offshore, but things turn sour when Carl takes an interest in Bruno’s girl Connie (SHELLEY WINTERS).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
