Bodyguard

“A Real "Who-done-it" Thriller”

In 1948 Los Angeles, Mike Carter (Lawrence Tierney) is a police detective on suspension after a clash with his superiors. When he starts poking around a murder investigation, Richard Fleischer pulls him in as the one man the evidence points to. Carter has to clear himself while the police, who once backed him, treat him as their suspect, and every step toward the truth costs him his badge and his freedom.
