| Summary |
An intriguing film noir about a novelist out to expose the injustices of capital punishment. Working with his fiancee's father, a newspaper publisher, he frames himself for murder, intending to produce exonerating evidence at the last moment. But the publisher suddenly dies, the evidence is lost, and that's only the first twist in a brilliantly layered plot ideally suited to Lang's talents. |
