Directed by Otto Preminger. A broke drifter (Andrews) ends up in a small town and falls in love with Stella (Darnell). To get enough money to impress her, he marries a wealthy spinster (Faye), planning to then get a quick divorce. But everything gets shaken up when someone gets murdered, and he’s the prime suspect.

I found it fascinating that the police inspector slapped Andrews’ character around like it was normal police business. In real life, Andrews, like John Barrymore, had an alcohol problem.

She was smooching with everyone. But I know how to take care of that.

Yes, he did, and he was a spokesman for the American Humanist Association.

Otto Preminger is the director who said that actors are like cattle. ;-)

Streaming on Plex.

I have to say, I have never liked Dana Andrews.

Dana Andrews is always good in his roles. "Best Years of Our Life" was probably Andrews's best film.
My Dana Andrews guilty pleasure is "Hot Rods to Hell".

“Laura” was a good movie Dana Andrews starred in along with Gene Tierney, Vincent Price, Clifton Webb, Dame Judith Anderson ...
