Street of Chance is a 1942 film starring Burgess Meredith as a man who finds he's been suffering for amnesia and Claire Trevor as a woman that protects him from police that suspect him of murder.

A man, Frank Thompson, awakens in the middle of the street, after wreckage falling from a building on Tillary Street in New York City hits him in the head. Frank soon discovers that his apartment has been rented out for a year and his wife Virginia has been living on her own elsewhere. Frank confronts Virginia, who is shocked to see the husband who disappeared without explanation a year earlier. As Frank slowly pieces together his old life, it turns out he is running from a murder he cannot remember committing, and only an old, paralyzed woman can clear him.
