Sepiatone Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The fact that the cabbie nor the doctor didn't kill him(or even tried) probably blotted that thought out of his mind. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibi Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 17 hours ago, misswonderly3 said: Yeah, I know...and there are probably loads more examples, especially in crime movies and noir. Well, all I can say is, I do remember Eddie saying that, about how the Code did not like murderers to commit suicide before the police could catch them because they (the Code censors) wanted them to be brought to justice, not just end their lives before their guilt could be proven in court. Maybe it wasn't a rule, more a policy the censors had? I dunno. And certainly, there are many examples of criminals dying, even if not by their own hand, in noir and gangster movies. Usually shot, either by the police pursuing them or by an enemy of some kind. I just remembered another one. They Wont Believe me (think that's the title) with Robert Young and Susan Hayward, but I dont want to provide spoilers. That was made around the same time (late 40s?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Face is a good film to compare to Dark Passage as it relates to the 'bad person' committing suicide. In both films this 'bad person' was NOT going to get in trouble with the law for their crimes. Each women killed herself for similar reasons: she couldn't get her man and she didn't want anyone else to have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 And sometimes ( often, actually), the criminal who has not been caught, or who has been caught and is found innocent, even though we the audience know they're guilty, dies in some other way - not through the justice system ( as in , execution), nor by suicide, but by, as I said earlier, someone else, maybe another criminal who is their foe, killing them before the police get to them. And then there are car accidents, as in - SPOILERS ! - the aforementioned Angel Face, Dead Reckoning, The File on Thelma Jordon (ok, she kind of admits on her deathbed that she caused the car accident to happen, on purpose, so I guess a kind of suicide), and of course, The Postman Always Rings Twice. Lots more, if I wanted to take the time to think of them... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
