Fourteen Hours (Horas Intermináveis), de Henry Hathaway (1951)

FOURTEEN HOURS begins with Richard Basehart (Robert Cosick) walking onto the ledge outside his hotel room. He's about to jump but can't quite bring himself to do it. A nearby cop (Paul Douglas) looks up and sees him on this ledge on the 15th floor and hurries over to the hotel to try to talk him out of jumping. Soon, his superiors come and relieve him--they'll work on trying to get Basehart down and Douglas simply isn't trained for this sort of thing. However, the so-called experts don't seem to get through to them, so they get Douglas back--after all, he had developed some rapport with the jumper. Soon, a series of family members are brought to help out, though in hindsight his mother (Agnes Moorehead) visiting was probably NOT the best idea.

Great cast with: Paul Douglas, Richard Basehart, Barbara Bel Geddes, Debra Paget, Agnes Moorehead, Howard Da Silva, Grace Kelly and Jeffrey Hunter as Danny, Ossie Davies, John Cassavetes, Leif Erickson, Brian Keith and Janice Rule. 

O filme começa com Richard Basehart (Robert Cosick) em um quarto de hotel, recebendo uma refeição e assustando o garçom ao ficar no parapeito do lado de fora da janela do prédio. Um policial (Charlie Dunningan), papel de Paul Douglas, fazendo sua ronda olha para cima, após um grito de terror de uma vizinha, e vê o suicida no 15º andar e se apressa em correr para telefonar para a delegacia. Logo, seus superiores irão retirá-lo do caso e vão tentar convencer Robert a não pular, mas depois eles se convencem que é melhor deixar a cargo de Charlie. Logo, aparece uma série de membros da família de Robert para tentar ajudar, mas talvez a vinda da sua mãe pode não ser uma boa ideia.
