Synopsis:
Beautiful Stella Bergen marries Phillip Monrell, the son of her wealthy employer, not
realizing he's a dangerous psychopath. Bent on destroying his best friend Ward
Andrews, whom he feels is trying to steal his wife, Phillip devises an elaborate plot to
frame Ward for his murder. Ingrid Bergman is lovely to look at in this early role and
the casting of George Sanders as the good guy is interesting, however, the plot is
far-fetched and the second half of the film is rushed and disconnected. Unlike
Montgomery's previous psychopathic character, 'Danny' in Night Must Fall, his role in
this film is underdeveloped and distinctly one-dimensional. Despite the faults in the
material, all cast members deliver competent performances.
