One year before Perry Mason we have Raymond Burr starring as an attorney who defends a woman in the killing of her husband.
After she is acquitted he begins to realize that she actually killed him and used him to get out of trouble. The woman named Myra Leeds (Angela Landsbury) is very cold and calculating.
Before he was murdered, her husband, Joe (Dick Foran) the best friend of Burr's character Craig Carlson sent him a letter which explained his point of view.
Carlson now knows his client was guilty and cannot be tried twice for the same crime, so he sets in motion a plan to have her accused of another murder which she cannot get out of.
This is avery tight little film with a lot of twists and turns and a great ending. If you're a film noir fan you shouldn't pass this one up. The rest of ther cast includes John Dehner, Lamont Johnson, Robert Griffin, and Denver Pyle.
The print on TUBI is somewhat splicy, but still very good if you're not too picky.
