THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS (FILM)


Directed by Lewis Milestone

Stars: Barbara Stanwyck

USA

1946

Seen on Blu-Ray from box set 'Essential Film Noir Vol. 3' (Imprint)


A man is reunited with his childhood friend and her husband, who believe he knows the truth about the death of her rich aunt years earlier.

Turgid film noir with performances of great conviction from the stars who make a rather contrived plot quite believable. Entertaining and suspenseful the whole way.  Great music score, too, by Max Steiner.
