About this book

In this rediscovered masterpiece of film noir, Joan Crawford plays a successful playwright who marries a less than stellar actor (Jack Palance) with a troubling secret. She soon discovers that he not only married her for her money, but that he plans to murder her with the help of his lover (Gloria Grahame in a performance The New York Times hailed as "hard, brash and sexy"). Nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Actress (Crawford), Best Supporting Actor (Palance) and Best Black & White Cinematography (Charles B. Lang Jr.), this taut thriller also features a score by Elmer Bernstein that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. - Container.
