Kiss the Blood Off My Hands
A hunted man… a love-haunted woman! Joan Fontaine and Burt Lancaster star in Kiss the Blood Off My Hands, a classic film noir about fate and love amongst the most unlikely individuals. Former P.O.W. Bill Saunders (Lancaster) is living in England and scarred with unstable and violent tendencies. After killing a man in a bar fight, he flees the scene and manages to find cover in the home of Nurse Jane Wharton (Fontaine) who agrees to take him in and believes his version of the story being an accident. Now in love, Nurse Wharton tries to secure Saunders a job delivering medical supplies after being released from prison for fighting with a police officer. Things take a turn, however, when a racketeer (Robert Newton) who witnessed Saunders’ murder threatens to turn him into the police unless he agrees to assist in a crime. (Universal)
