TCM's Film Noir of the Week for Sunday, December 3, at 10 a.m. ET, is Pushover (1954). It stars Fred MacMurray and Kim Novak in the standard Noir trope of a sap who falls for a woman and gets himself deeper and deeper into bad trouble. This time the sap is a cop gone wrong.
Novak plays the girlfriend of a bank robber whom MacMurray is trying to catch as part of an undercover operation. Novak tempts MacMurray into a plan to kill her boyfriend and run off with the bank heist loot. Things go bad from there.
Fred MacMurray plays a character similar to his most famous role, in Double Indemnity, in which he was an insurance salesman. In Pushover he is a detective.
N.S.: Fred MacMurray is one of the greatest actors to never get nominated for an Oscar. He should have been up for Best Actor for his performance as insurance man Walter Neff, in Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity (1944); for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as cowardly, manipulative novelist, Lieutenant Tom Keefer, in Willie Dieterle’s The Caine Mutiny (1954), instead of Rod Steiger, from On the Waterfront; and probably yet again for Best Supporting Actor for his turn as amoral, philandering executive Jeff D. Sheldrake, in Wilder’s The Apartment (1960), instead of Jack Kruschen, from the same picture.
Kim Novak was also an underrated actress. She gave one of the greatest performances of all time by a lead actress in Alfred Hitchcock’s doppelgänger masterpiece, Vertigo 1958, which unfortunately bombed. Due to the picture’s box office failure, Vertigo was only nominated for Oscars for Best Sound and Best Art Direction-Set Decoration.

Today Novak is 84, and works as an artist.
