        Imagine a lawyer introducing evidence during his closing argument and the opposing attorney or judge saying nothing. That's one of a number of implausible plot points in this crime drama. The directing is listless, but the performances by Raymond Burr and Angela Lansbury make the film worthy of a look.

        In this low budget thriller - that comes close to old television movies quality ( a good many of the cast actually did move to working television) - a savvy defense attorney is the last guy to figure out that the woman he just got off from a murder charge is actually guilty. So he concocts some only-in-the-movies scheme to have her murder him, too, so that she'll finally get caught. What?! Did you stop reading when you read what his genius plan is??? Yeah, well I don't blame you. It's as hokey as can be. the cast though is good enough to bypass the incredulity of the script and watch the thing through. It won't stay with you long though.

        Low budget reworking of Double Indemnity works better than it should thanks to the quality of its cast. Burr, Angela Lansbury and John Dehner all give performances better than the ordinary script warrants.
