Based on an Agatha Christie short story so clever she adapted it into a play so ingenious it was turned into a movie, this murder mystery starring Charles Laughton as a lawyer who takes on a murder case while convalescing is the sort of whodunnit you wish you could turn back time and discover for the first time again, but knowing the twists and turns of the plot is also a source of pleasure as is seeing everyone doing what they do so well, including Marlene Dietrich as a cool German singer and Tyrone Power as her husband and murder-accused.
