Dan Duryea is a US Air Force pilot married to English Elsie Albin. She's upset when he's reassigned for three months for training, and their marriage rapidly winds up on the rocks. When he returns to see if they can mend matters, he finds a corpse.
The word that leaps to mind for this movie is "sodden". The first twenty-five minutes are devoted to Duryea explaining the set-up via voice over. His live performance isn't much better. He spends it shouting angrily. There's much running around to no effect for the first sixty-five minutes, then one of the characters explains everything, Duyea slugs someone, and there's only ten minutes left to wrap things up. By which point I didn't care.
Other performers who cashed checks for this movie include Eric Pohlman, Kenneth Griffith and, in her final film appearance, Jane Carr.
