Crack-Up is a 1946 American film noir mystery-thriller directed by Irving Reis and based on the short story Madman's Holiday by Fredric Brown. The film combines psychological suspense, art forgery, murder, and conspiracy in a classic noir setting.

Plot:
George Steele, an art expert specializing in the detection of forged paintings, suddenly experiences what appears to be a train wreck while traveling to visit his hospitalized mother.

Determined to uncover the truth, Steele investigates the strange events surrounding the museum where he works.
