Currently available on Watch TCM (until December 18th):
Although starting out as quite the common man, circumstances will turn this rather nondescript accountant, played by Edmond O'Brien, into a kind of noir superhero in D.O.A. (1950) previously recommended here.
This character and the one from Ikiru share some interesting commonalities. Both are diagnosed as “dead” at the beginning and both go on a journey of self-enlightenment.
