Fall Guy is a 1947 American crime film noir directed by Reginald Le Borg.

"[1] With no memory of the night in question and a few clues, a man tries to prove he did not murder an attractive woman.

Tom Cochrane, high on cocaine and covered with blood, is picked up by the police and then questioned by detectives Shannon (Douglas Fowley) and Taylor (Harry Strang), but manages to escape.

The police pick up Mac, while Tom trails Marie (Virginia Dale) and Mike (Jack Overman).

The Fall Guy was shot in 10 days at Monogram Pictures studios, confirming director Reginald LeBorg “as one of the most cost- and time-conscious directors in the industry.”[2] This post-war noir, though atmospherically and plot-wise typical of the genre, is notable in that narcotic trafficking is central to the narrative.
