Street of Chance (1942 film)

Street of Chance is a 1942 American film noir mystery film directed by Jack Hively and starring Burgess Meredith as a man who finds he has been suffering from amnesia and Claire Trevor as a woman who protects him from the police, who suspect him of murder.

Frank Thompson awakens in the middle of the street after wreckage falling from a building in New York City narrowly misses hitting him on the head.

Frank confronts Virginia, who is shocked to see the husband who, a year earlier, disappeared without explanation.

As Frank slowly pieces together his old life, it turns out he is known by another name and is running from a murder he cannot remember committing.

Looking for answers in the neighborhood where he awoke on the street, Frank meets Ruth Dillon who knows him only as "Danny".
