Barbara Stanwyck plays an advice to the lovelorn columnist in San Francisco who helps crack a murder case. She then falls in love with Los Angeles detective Sterling Hayden. <br /><br />They marry after a quick romance. She finds suburban married life boring and pressures her husband to climb the promotional ladder more quickly. Her scheming to advance this end in murder.<br /><br />Also starring Raymond Burr (just before he became Perry Mason) and Fay Wray. One of Stanwyck's femme fatale roles. <br /><br />Back in 1957, this was part of a double feature.

He's a professional writer with around 10 published books. Two are noir type novels, both good reads. <br /><br />in the last decade, Muller has done 20-25 DVD commentaries on DVD's of Noir films. He does an excellent job, extended versions of what you hear on his TCM show. <br /><br />His most recent ones are for Woman on the Run (1950), 99 River Street (1953), and Deadline USA (1952). Eddie Muller does his best commentary on these three, IMO. During 99 River Street, Muller tells what happens (in a legal sense) when a pro boxer hits (it happens in the plot of the film) a citizen.David In TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749838323613927456noreply@blogger.com
