Inner Sanctum (1948)

An odd but very satisfying little noir. Harold (Charles Russell) accidentally kills his fiance at a railway station. He dumps her body on a departing train, he thinks he has got away with it but then he meets rather annoying little kid Mike (Dale Belding) who saw the whole thing...

Harold is stuck in the town after a flood washes away the bridge. He stays in a boarding house... but as luck would have it he ends up having to share a room with Mike! If that's not enough fellow boarder Mary Beth Hughes has the hots for Harold and doesn't seem to mind the fact he is a killer...

A dark and mysterious film full of strange characters, suspense and plot twists. Although only a short film it packs a lot in.
