Synopsis
The affable Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) is being tried for the murder of a wealthy woman, and legendary lawyer Sir Wilfrid Robarts (Charles Laughton) has chosen to represent him. Unfortunately, Leonard's alibi depends on the testimony of his callous wife, Christine (Marlene Dietrich) - who, after the discovery of a legal loophole, makes the shocking decision to appear in court against him. To Sir Wilfrid's surprise, this is only the first in a series of puzzling revelations and reversals.
Directed by Billy Wilder and adapted from the celebrated stage play by Agatha Christie, the film is an alchemic triumph of intricately plotted story, incisive humour, and acting masterclass that will grip you right up until its audacious final revelation.

Reviews
The air in the courtroom fairly crackles with emotional electricity, until that staggering surprise in the last reel.
Remains a biting look at courtroom justice and among the most rewatchable legal dramas ever made, owing to the superb execution by its star director and ensemble of skilled performers.
