Event Details
A British barrister (Charles Laughton), recuperating from a near fatal heart attack, agrees to defend an American war veteran (Tyrone Power) accused of slaying a wealthy English widow. The trial seems to be going favorably until the defendant's wife (Marlene Dietrich) is summoned as a witness by the prosecutor. Famed director Billy Wilder guides an expert cast (which includes Elsa Lanchester, John Williams, Torin Thatcher and Henry Daniell) in this excellent adaptation of the hit play written by Agatha Christie.
