I realize that When the Clock Strikes (1961) is at best a campy post-noir tribute but I really like it and come back to it every now and then. It’s an oddly compelling little timepiece (groan). The female lead, Merry Anders, was born in Chicago in 1934 of Swedish, German and Irish extraction. She had a long career with some interesting roles, such as Policewoman Dorothy Miller in Dragnet. The male lead, James Brown, played the likable Ted Haines Jr in “Going My Way.”
