TCM’s Film Noir of the Week Saturday Night-Sunday Morning at 12:15 and 10 a.m. ET is Harold F. Kress’ No Questions Asked (1951), with Barry Sullivan, Arlene Dahl, George Murphy, Jean Hagen and Richard Simmons.
Film Noir Guide: “After his gold-digging fiancee (Dahl) dumps him for a wealthy man (Simmons), insurance investigator Sullivan decides to climb the ladder of success the easy way. He becomes, in effect, a legal fence, working with fur and jewel thieves to return stolen merchandise for a price so his insurance company doesn’t have to pay up.
“While he makes a nice little commission on each deal, he soon learns an expensive lesson about working on the dark side. Hagen is the girl who loves him, and Murphy is the cop who’s trying to put him away. An effective little twist on the good cop gone bad, this noir supports the old adage, ‘there’s one born every minute.’”
