Edge of Doom (1950)

 A distributed young man (Farley Granger) with a (not entirely baseless) grudge against the Catholic Church, murders a less then sympathetic priest (Harold Vermilyea) and gets away with it, only to be acussed of a robbery he didn't commit. Dana Andrews is a sympathetic priest who trys to help, well everybody.

Granger is so whiney in this it gets rather annoying, which unfortunately overshadows an otherwise pleasantly different idea for a film noir. **

Movie contains a clip that used to be used in TCM's night time bumpers. After seeing several clips also so used from 'Killer's Kiss' the other week, this is something of a streak.
