night was our friend (1951)
"Why on earth did you wait for me?"
Sally Raynor (Elizabeth Sellars) is aquited of murdering her husband (Michael Gough), and we soon gather that she has only recently been reunited with him two years after his plane had gone missing in the the South American jungle. In the interviening years Sally, has fallen for another man (Ronald Howard), and Sally's husband has returned a changed man; psychologically damaged, and incapable of letting go of his demons, even considering suicide.
A promising start quickly decends into an over-talkie melodrama, when its revealed early on that his wife has bumped the hapless pilot off, ridding the film of any suspence at a stroke.
