      Cleve Marshall (Wendell Corey) is an assistant district attorney who falls for the shadowy Thelma Jordon (Barbara Stanwyck). With her sordid past -- and her relationship with thief Tony Laredo (Richard Rober) -- kept secret from the married attorney, Jordon seduces the easily swayed Marshall, and uses him to cover up her misdeeds.

      Audience Reviews for The File on Thelma Jordon

      • Oct 15, 2018
        Wendell Corey as a smart assistant district attorney, bored with his marriage, who meets a mysterious woman that nonetheless "gets" all of his jokes. As smart as the guy is, he never questions the timing of the meeting, even while it seems to work in her favor more and more. Babs, of course, is the woman, a girl who never met a situation that she couldn't twist while looking you dead in the eye. Noir dreamers, come home. Paul Kelly's good too.
