Journal of a Crime

Françoise Moliet (Ruth Chatterton) knew that her playwright husband Paul (Adolphe Menjou) wouldn’t break off his affair with his leading lady Odette (Claire Dodd). One night, Odette was shot to death backstage...and the blame was cast upon a wanted felon (Noel Madison) hiding out in the theater. He wasn’t the killer, though--and will her guilt let Françoise go on with her marriage or her life? Pre-Code melodrama co-stars George Barbier, Douglass Dumbrille; keep an eye out for Walter Pidgeon. 65 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
