House of Cards (1947)

In this film without sound a man awakes disheveled in a rooming house He stares out the window seeing children playing and a welldressed man sitting on a chair in the middle of the street reading a newspaper and looking up at him A headline describes the murder of a child The disheveled man whose face expresses fear and despair leaves going through the city alarmed when anyone looks at him A woman invites him to look through a public telescope He does then keeps going He climbs a hill Two fencers appear so does a jester Is flight fruitless
