The Paradine Case (1947)
8/10
A well-off blind man is poisoned to death, and his purdy wife (Alida Valli), with an indelicate past, is a prime suspect. Attorney Anthony Keane (Gregory Peck) takes the case, but to the dismay of his wife (Ann Todd), Anthony may be interested in more than just a favorable verdict for his client.
Effective story telling. It's actually difficult to know why Attorney Keane makes all the decisions he makes. His feelings are an interesting counterpoint to the unveiling of the case. It's a drama, not a suspense thriller.
