Ordinary girl Barbara Bel Geddes eagerly marries into money in the form of sadistic millionaire Robert Ryan. Her new Long Island gothic dream house—darkly and moodily shot in deep noir by cinematographer Lee Garmes—does not satisfy Bel Geddes, however, and she seeks truer happiness in the hands of a poor but appealing doctor (James Mason). “The alluring web of hearts and dollars has rarely looked so deadly, and only the studio spared us the sight of the kill.”—Paul Taylor (Max Ophuls, 1949, 35mm, 88 minutes) Print from UCLA Film and Television Archive with preservation funded by The Stanford Theater Foundation
