Stars Van Heflin and Ginger Rogers. Gene Tierney and George Raft. married man Peter Denver (Heflin) strikes up a conversation with young cutie Nancy (Peggy Garner) but unfortunately, cute Nancy wakes up dead. in his apartment! they had met at Carlotta's party (G. Rogers) in NYC, and of course, that started the gossip mill. the cops finally decide it was moidah, so Denver has to figure out who dunnit just to avoid being convicted himself! George Raft is the police detective for the investigation. Keep an eye out for Mabel Albertson... she was GREAT in Whats up Doc, That Girl, and Bewitched! everyone's mother. Written by Hugh Wheeler. some similarities to All About Eve, although no-one croaks in Eve. Both are Twentieth Century Fox films. Carlotta is so spiteful and hateful.. this one has much more acrimony, (and a less clever script!) than Eve. kind of a strange part for Ginger Rogers.. she doesn't sound like the Rogers we have seen in the films from the 1930s. Directed by Sam Nunnaly. he was nominated TWICE, for writing both times. check out Nunnaly's track record.. he made some great films. Try to guess the ending... there are clues here and there, if you pay attention. it's pretty good.
