Film: D.O.A.
aka: Do A

Frank Bigelow: I'd like to report a murder.

Captain: Sit down. Where was this murder committed?

Frank Bigelow: San Francisco, last night.

Captain: Who was murdered?

Frank Bigelow: I was.

D.O.A., or Dead On Arrival, is a 1950 Film Noir drama about a man named Frank Bigelow, who must frantically try to find out who wants him dead through poisoning- and why. The plot speeds as Frank recounts his past events to the police to get help. Download the movie here.

A remake starring Dennis Quaid was released in 1988.

If you're looking for the fighting game, see Dead or Alive.

Tropes used by D.O.A:

Ax Crazy: Chester enjoys hurting people. He especially relishes the gutshot, since it kills people nice...and slow.
Chained Heat: In the remake only.
Dead Man Walking: The Ur Example.
Downer Ending
Endless Corridor: In the innovative opening sequence.
Enforced Method Acting: That long sequence where Frank is running through the streets? None of that was planned. They just sat the camera on the back of a car and had the actor run through the streets. Those times where he nearly gets hit by a car and a bus, the actor really could have been hit by a car or a bus.
Film Noir: One of the Trope Codifiers.
Follow the Leader: Chester, like many killers in the Film Noir era, was inspired by Tommy Udo from Kiss of Death.
Gayngster: Majak, possibly. The way he says "please, my boy", while smoothing over Chester's hair...
Giggling Villain: Chester.
Perfect Poison
The Reveal
San Francisco
Shown Their Work: In the credits—before the actors' names are listed—a title card informs us that the poison described is totally a real thing (most likely phosphorus), and that "luminous poison" is an actual medical term.
Slasher Smile: Chester.
Soundtrack Dissonance: This film has a surprisingly lighthearted score (relatively). Certainly more so than any other film noir.
Standard Female Grab Area: Used by Bigelow to great effect while interrogating Phillips' secretary.
Title Drop: "Mark his file... as DOA."
White Collar Worker: Frank was an accountant.
Whodunnit To Me: Pretty much the Trope Codifier.
