"The question is, Frau Helm, were you lying then, are you lying now, or are you not in fact a chronic and habitual LIAR!" - Sir Wilfrid

Why watch this? It's a compelling courtroom drama that features top performances and more than a few twists.

Plot Summary: Based on an Agatha Christie story, this is a gripping courtroom drama set in London's Old Bailey. The film follows Leonard Vole, a man accused of murdering a wealthy widow who named him as the primary beneficiary in her will, and his cunning wife Christine, who becomes a pivotal witness in the trial. Celebrated defense barrister Sir Wilfrid Robarts takes on Vole's seemingly hopeless case, uncovering shocking twists and turns.

Dad's Preview: This British courtroom drama has several unexpected turns as it winds its way to a surprising finale. Laughton is excellent as the barrister defending the accused, but it's Marlene Dietrich, cool as a cucumber and mysterious, who captivates every minute she's on the screen.
