Dark Waters is a 1944 American Gothic film noir starring Merle Oberon. I'm watching it because it has Elisha Cook, Jr. in it, and today is the anniversary of his death in 1995 at the age of 91. Before he died following a stroke he was the last surviving cast member of The Maltese Falcon, which might be his most well-known role. He's one of my favorites. I watched this movie on YouTube, embedded below. You can also watch it on Internet Archive.
