I also just caught High Road a few weeks back on cable. That one was alright, forgot how much I liked it.

Which is the one about the couple that die and help solve their own murder??? It was B&W and from the 40's if I remember correctly.....

Finally saw the Killers, but need to find A Touch of Evil.

Harvy is the one about J. Stewart and the Rabbit, right?
