Bogart's character is in love with him sister-in-law (Smith). His wife (Rose Hobart) knows but refuses to divorce him. Bogie tries to solve this problem in typical noir fashion by killing his wife, hiding the body, and proclaiming her "missing." <br /><br />Ironically, when Bogart pursues Alexis Smith, she has no interest in him. Suddenly it appears Hobart may still be alive. Bogie's doubt and paranoia increase.<br /><br />Sydney Greenstreet plays a psychiatrist friend of the family who investigates. <br /><br />Conflict is based on a story by veteran noir director Robert Siodmak and directed by Curtis Bernhardt.
