Overview

Wealthy, sheltered Lina McLaidlaw is swept off her feet by charming ne’er-do-well Johnnie Aysgarth. Though warned that Johnnie is little more than a fortune hunter, Lina marries him anyway and remains loyal to her irresponsible husband as he plows his way from one disreputable business scheme to another. Gradually Lina comes to the conclusion that Johnnie intends to kill her in order to collect her inheritance.

Viewing Notes

Interesting that Fontaine won an Oscar for this one considering she was nominated and didn’t win for REBECCA the year before. She’s great here (better than Grant honestly, whose performance felt odd in this one) but I felt she was better in REBECCA. Regardless, it’s a treat to see her in two movies back-to-back. She really deserved more of a movie career than she got.
