Born to Be Bad (1950)

Directed by Nicholas Ray
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Nicholas Ray's film is populated with bad people doing bad things. Joan Fontaine is the sweet cousin who really has an eye on Zachary Scott's money. About the only person more egotistical and selfish than her is author Robert Ryan, and they can't keep their hands off each other. It's hard to find someone to root for, but fun to watch Fontaine play the cold, smiling Christabel.
