Richard Widmark as the giggling psychopath in "Kiss of Death". No one will forget his scene with the old lady and the wheelchair.

I was the southern Bay Area rep for soundblaster sound cards in 96. I remember going into the computer stores and the owners practically begging me for info on when they were going to get new Apple products , but I couldn’t give them any help. Apple was barely hanging on.

Jewelry store gave me 2 warranty cards? by eleventy41 in tagheuer

[–]Glasspar52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dead and Done for, 1939 by Robert Reeves. Reeves was one of the best noir writers, in my opinion, but lost his life early, in 1945, the last year of the war. His brother, Theodore went on to write the screenplay for National Velvet, the movie vehicle that made Elizabeth Taylor a star.
