Almost Hitchcock like. Merle Oberon plays Martha who is too proud to admit that she is hard of hearing.
In fact she is almost deaf but she is too proud to wear a hearing aid.
However when her husband Bill almost accidentally runs her over. Martha knows vanity needs to take a bad seat.
She gets a hearing aid which is discreetly hidden behind her hair. When Martha attends a party. She learns that everyone knows that she is deaf. They mock her deafness not realising that now she can hear them.
More importantly Martha learns that her husband is cheating behind her back. That car incident earlier on might not have been an accident.
An effective thriller of a man cheating on his wife and planning to bump his wife off. Even when Martha knows there are still several layers of twists.
