(DVD, Lionsgate)
A young actress is sentenced to death for a murder she did not commit. One of the jurors, who regrets his part in her conviction, sets out to prove her innocence. With the help of a stage manager and his wife, the amateur sleuths soon hone in on a cross dressing actor as the main suspect. In one of the more tense scenes, they lure him to an audition for a fake play in which his murder is re-enacted. Later, he commits suicide in a crowded circus. A bit talky and unfocused, but still entertaining with the usual Hitchcock flourishes.
