(1949) Milburn Stone, Katherine DeMille, Paul Guilfoyle, Stanley Waxman. Stone, in what may be the biggest role of his career, is a criminal defense attorney who discovers that his faithless wife is playing around on him with the county police psychiatrist. He then concocts a bizarre plan of revenge. He conspires with a murderer, whom he gets aquitted on a technicality. In return for the murderer must do him a favor…a favor involving his wife. This is a great little piece of film noir, unjustly underrated and somewhat neglected. DeMille is great as the unfaithful wife. From 16mm.
