The Man Who Cheated Himself (US, 1950)

A homicide lieutenant's girlfriend accidentally shoots dead her soon-to-be-divorced husband. Lieutenant gets put on the case with his happily newly-wed rookie brother, new to the homicide detail, who will learn a thing or two on this, his first case.

A reasonably good noir; there's a heavy line of irony in the film and some nice city location shots throughout.

The location of the closing sequences looks remarkably similar to that used in Point Blank.
