Fairly good film from 1948. Ray Milland is good; Charles Laughton wears a ridiculous moustache, and is bearable; Elsa Lanchester plays an artist with panache, and is actually funny; Maureen O'Sullivan struggles with a stereotypically narrow role; and George Macready appears in a film yet again (he was in Gilda, playing her possessive husband).
A hotshot crime magazine editor inadvertently becomes the subject of a murder investigation after spending an evening with his boss' mistress.
