Today on TCM:

Next up are a couple of exciting films noir that first arrived on the scene in 1953, appearing back to back on TCM:

Barbara Stanwyck stars as a devoted wife trying to save her husband (played by Barry Sullivan) but equally determined to match wits against killer Ralph Meeker in order to do so, in the previously recommended (here) noir, 1953's Jeopardy.

(For Part 1: The War of the Worlds (1953) or War of the Worlds (2005) in the series, click here).
