Description
Summary:A woman seduces an insurance agent and convinces him to kill her husband so they can collect the insurance money. Also includes the 1973 TV movie, Shadows of Suspense documentary, and audio commentaries with film historians.
This crackling adaptation of James Cain's shady tale of an insurance man lured into murder was brilliantly cast with the usually nice guy MacMurray as the slick agent in love with calculating Stanwyck.
