Bette Davis’s wealthy married woman shoots a man who is not her husband dead on her front steps. Dozens see her do it. It’s up to a lawyer/family friend played by James Stephenson to get her off on self-defense. But is she as innocent as she seems? William Wyler’s noir benefits from his expert direction, the sweaty tropical setting, and Davis herself, of course. -Lee Gardner
1940 William Wyler. 1.37:1 B&W DCP 95 min.
