please murder me (1956)


"...in 55 minutes I will be dead..."
A lawyer Craig Carlson (Raymond Burr) falls for his best mates wife Myra (Angela Lansbury), and plucks up the courage to tell his friend. His friend is subsequently shot by Myra. She cries self defence, but is tried for murder. Craig successful defends Myra against the charge, only to then find she actually did it, and has manipulated him all along.

An obviously small film, but one that holds the attention due to he intriguing plot twists.
