I remember this is the explanation you hoped The Phantom Lady would give for its title character.

Seeing how well it works in Raw Deal, I have totally not changed my mind!

Also reminds me a little of a scene midway through The Ambulance (1990), in which the protagonist, fleeing from agents of a conspiracy he’s accidentally uncovered and only half-understands, is chased through the park into an unrelated crime scene and the arms of the police, who nab him as a witness and try to browbeat him into agreeing that yes, he saw the murder and yes, the killer was the Puerto Rican guy with the knife. Finally he offers to agree to their story if they’ll let him report his.

Now I feel more crime movies should have unrelatedly criss-crossing crimes, just on principle of statistics.
