This week on The Shiver Show, Mary and Greg dive into a shadowy world of suspense and betrayal with a chilling feature episode: The Big Clock. Adapted from the classic thriller novel by Kenneth Fearing, this noir gem delivers a tightly wound tale of murder, manipulation—and a man hunting himself.

Ray Milland stars as George Stroud, a crime reporter caught in a Kafkaesque nightmare when he’s ordered to solve a murder that might just point back to him. With a ticking corporate clock looming over every move, and a web of clues tightening by the hour, the suspense is as relentless as it is elegant. Maureen O’Sullivan brings quiet depth as Stroud’s wife, while the commanding William Conrad adds a note of menace as media mogul and sleazebag, Janouth.

Mary and Greg break it all down with their signature mix of insight and dry humor—marveling at the film’s clever twists, the sharp dialogue, and the absolutely fabulous foley, and an intense debate on whether crème de menthe deserves a place in any adult’s liquor cabinet. (Spoiler: one of them has very strong opinions.)

With its smart script, stylish direction, and standout performances, The Big Clock will have you reconsidering that minty green drink.
