Synopsis

A lawyer successfully defends the woman he loves against the charge of killing her husband, who was also his friend. What he discovers after the acquittal forces him to reconsider both the case and his own part in it. He begins recording an account of events while preparing a plan with a chilling personal cost.

Cast

DirectorsPeter Godfrey

Historical context

This compact crime drama was Peter Godfrey's final film as director. The pairing of Raymond Burr and Angela Lansbury places two performers later strongly associated with television mysteries inside a much darker story of legal strategy and betrayal.
