Following a massive heart attack, infamous British barrister Sir Wilfred Robarts (Charles Laughten) has been ordered by his doctors to forswear drinking, smoking, and his work in the courtroom. However, he is intrigued by the case of Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power), a likeable fellow who's accused of murdering a wealthy widow. The case is turned on its head when Vole's loving wife (Marlene Dietrich) announces that they are not really married and agrees to be a witness for the prosecution. Adapted from an Agatha Christie play and directed with his usual finesse by Billy Wilder.

One of the best ever Court Room Films ever made. My favourite Tyrone Power film. Charles Laughton, Marlené Dietrich, we all bow down to the genius that was Billy Wilder! This film will keep you guessing to the end.

DIRECTED BY THE AMAZING UNMATCHED BILLY WILDER & STARING WILDER GREAT FRIEND LEGENDARY MARLENE DIETRICH !!! THIS FILM IS UNBELIEVABLE ITS AMAZING A LITTLE SLOW AT THE BEGINING BUT WHEN IT PICKS UP IT DOSENT STOP!!! THE ENDING IS SOOO TRUELY UNBELIEVABLE WHEN U FIND OUT THE TRUTH GUARANTEED U WILL REWIND TO SEE THE CLÍMAX AGAIN!!! WATCH THIS FILM ITS A GEM!!!

Very unexpected occurred in the film . Excellent acting by Marlene Dietrich an Charles Laughton. Nothing can beat this film. Unfortunately it is Black I White. It doesn't matter. Story line and acting is excellent.
