A Woman's Vengeance

Henry Maurier (Charles Boyer) was always solicitous of his invalid wife Emily (Rachel Kempson). Soon after he met the alluring young Doris (Ann Blyth), though, Emily suffered a fatal heart attack...and he pursued a very public courtship. When an autopsy revealed poisoning, the state’s case against Henry seemed ironclad...unless his doctor and friend Libbard (Cedric Hardwicke) could show otherwise. Aldous Huxley adapted his short story "The Gioconda Smile" for the screen; Jessica Tandy, Mildred Natwick co-star under Zoltan Korda’s direction. 96 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
