General Spence: Wouldn't have minded being a dog myself. Comfortable kennels, free meals, unlimited access to the females of the species, and when you're old, they shoot you. No wheelchairs, no torture, no blasted nurses - one bang and it's over.

Featured review
A highly literate script by Aldous Huxley and an absorbing courtroom drama.
Henry Maurier (Boyer) is an arrogant wealthy Englishman married to Emily who is both sickly and shrewish. Doris (Blyth) is his much younger mistress. The Maurier's also have a woman friend named Janet Spence (Tandy) who has always loved Maurier. When Emily is poisoned, suspicion falls on Henry and there is a great deal of circumstantial evidence against him. The script, by Aldous Huxley, is extremely literate and the movie is a pleasure to watch. Courtroom fans will also enjoy the capably executed inquest and trial scenes.
