Gregory Peck is hired to defend exotic beauty Alida Valli, accused of poisoning her wealthy husband. He falls in love with her, jeopardizing not only the case but his marriage. His wife realizes what has happened but encourages him to stay on the case. Peck tries to pin the murder on the servant with little evidence, but instead it drives the servant to commit suicide. The real murderer is revealed in court in dramatic fashion. Talky but still fascinating Hitchcock courtroom drama.
