(1952)Directed by David Miller112 minThriller, Crime

“Every Suspenseful Moment... Every Embrace... Every Kiss... A Breathtaking Experience!”

Myra Hudson Blaine (Joan Crawford) is a successful playwright who fires an actor from her new play because he doesn't look the part of a romantic lead. That actor, Lester Blaine (Jack Palance), boards the same train west and sets out to change her mind by courting her. David Miller keeps one question hanging over the courtship: whether a man's tenderness is sincere, or a cover for a darker motive.
