I Killed That Man (1945) is a suspenseful crime drama directed by William Beaudine. The story unfolds as a condemned man on death row claims he is innocent just hours before his execution—declaring that he knows who the real killer is. His shocking confession sets off a high-stakes race against time, as a determined district attorney and a savvy female reporter join forces to uncover the truth. With dark motives, political intrigue, and red herrings at every turn, the film captures the urgency and paranoia of postwar noir. A remake of the 1939 film Midnight Limited, I Killed That Man is a classic B-picture that delivers fast-paced drama and moral tension.
