DIGITAL CINEMA PRESENTATION
Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) is accused of murdering a wealthy widow for her inheritance. Retired barrister, Wilfred Robarts (Charles Laughton), is intrigued enough to take on the case, despite all odds and especially against the advice of his strong-willed nurse (Elsa Lancaster). Enter Mrs. Christina Vole (Marlene Dietrich), the wife who knows too much, and with an Agatha Christie plot and Billy Wilder's caustic direction, you have the makings of one of the finest courtroom dramas ever put on film. In fact, Christie herself considered it the finest of all the movies made from her many works. Nominated for six Academy Awards.
