Tonight in 1958 — #HumeCronyn starred in "The Impromptu Murder” on ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS.
Paul Henreid directed this tale of a broker who ingeniously kills a client.
Cronyn also played a man obsessed w/ murder methods in Hitchcock’s SHADOW OF A DOUBT.

Watched an old Noir film about prison brutality, Brute Force (1947).
Does a good job of making the prisoners sympathetic, and even makes some commentary about how prison labor undercuts good union jobs.
Never seen Hume Cronyn in such a sinister role before.
Also uses any excuse to have Burt Lancaster take his shirt off.
Brief cameo of Yvonne De Carlo.
