Special Features: Introduction by Foster Hirsch
Boozy Assistant DA Cleve Marshall (Wendell Corey) reels from a stifling marriage into an affair with the mysterious Thelma Jordon (Barbara Stanwyck). He's so smitten and besotted, he misses the warning signs: Thelma has a sickly aunt loaded with dough and spends lots of time in the arms of shadowy and sinister Tony Laredo (Richard Rober). Something bad is bound to happen…and when it does, Cleve winds up working both sides of the law. Noir master Robert Siodmak does a spellbinding job with a terrific script, and Stanwyck - the "Queen of Noir" - offers a terrific, two-faced turn in one of her most rarely screened films. (Note courtesy of Noir City.) DIR Robert Siodmak; SCR Ketti Frings, from a story by Marty Holland; PROD Hal B. Wallis. U.S., 1950, b&w, 100 min. NOT RATED
