A sharp-witted legal drama that's both tense and funny. Charles Laughton steals almost every scene as the cantankerous lawyer to the defense.

Billy Wilder evokes both Hitchcock and Lang when directing this smartly written trial movie that ends on a couple neat twists. Charles Laughton is the capable defense attorney; Tyrone Power the fearful defendant; and Marlene Dietrich is his mysterious wife who has secrets of her own.
