Down-on-his-luck Los Angeles architect and builder Edward Shaw (Keith Andes) is approached by Doris Hillman (Angela Lansbury) with a business proposal: buying land together, on which he would build houses that she would then sell, using her experience as a former real estate broker. Her husband, Gus Hillman, a wealthy businessman, would be willing to contribute half a million dollars as capital for the venture.
Doris quickly seems interested in more than a purely professional relationship. Shaw starts an affair with her and accepts the business offer. However, an accidental discovery leaves him convinced that the Hillmans’ interest lies less in the long-term profits of the venture than in the $175,000 key man insurance policy he took on himself as a precondition for the deal, and that an attempt on his life is imminent.
Madge, the younger sister of Doris, develops a romantic interest in Shaw as well. Without knowing what Doris has planned, she reveals to Shaw that her sister was married previously to a man who died in Wyoming when his car crashed over a bridge. Shaw ends up drugged by Gus Hillman and barely keeps his car from going off a cliff.
The police are skeptical about his story and the insurance company refuses to cancel the policy, Hillman having portrayed Shaw as a man who is trying to steal his wife. Madge teams with Shaw to try to foil her sister’s scheme, but Doris lures him to a mountain cabin and shoots him with a gun. A wounded Shaw sees both Hillmans struggle then fall to their deaths through a clifftop doorway, just minutes before Madge and the cops arrive.

Crap video ruined by commercials.
They say "to each his own." Miss Landsbury is somebody's type.
Terrible storyline..
I guess hook-up culture has always been around and didn't start with online dating.
Crazy old movie!!!
The truth is, Black Americans are the true Jews or Black Hebrew people of the Bible.
If you are Black in so-called America you may or may not know this fact,
and they are counting on it.
But those that are hunting us know!
Who are the ones hunting us?
They are shape-shifting Demonic Angels; police one moment, then black male the next, then a White Karen, then your child's classmate, or maybe their college dorm room frenemy.
They are magical Demonic Angels, who are very wicked and they hate God, and all He has created. They destroy His earth, air, water, crops, seeds and yes, His chosen Black Hebrew people, who are hidden in plain sight right here is so-call America.
It is not going to get better until we are out of this place…when Jesus Christ returns or we are raptured out of this wickedness. Before this, it will get worse.
If you are still here, you have missed the barley and wheat raptures.
There is one more, the grape harvest or rapture of the bride of Christ, although I'm not sure when it is; it may be very close; be ready!
We are in the Great Tribulation spoken of in the Book of Revelation and other books in the Holy Bible. Black Americans are being hunted down and murdered by those who claim we have committed a crime, or involved in gang violence, or domestic disputes…. and the like, but it is mostly not true!
The true culprits are all in on this extermination of every Black Hebrew agenda together…This means for example: first responders, like police, most medical staff, politicians, professors and their aids, teachers, school staff, the rich businessmen, upper clergy, high profile preachers, and on the local level anyone who can infiltrate your family circle…it could even be a black man, woman, or child acting as a mole or spy!
He /she is really a DEMONIC ANGEL involved and sitting in your day to day!
Paranoid?
It best that you are to become aware of the truth happening all around us and to us!
They don't teach us this in church or Sunday school. The preachers don't explain that there are wicked, magical Angels in high and low places that can manifest as anyone….. male, female, young, old, black, white, yellow or red, then murder you on the hospital operating table, or shoot you while shopping at the mall, then two seconds later change their appearance in the blink of and eye, and walk away free to do the same thing again around the corner, or in the next neighborhood, or city.
They keep this a closely guarded secret so we can't figure out the truth. I know because God has chosen to reveal this truth with some in these last days.
But this truth is written there in the Holy Bible, and other books like The Book of Enoch, but we have to pray for true understanding. Pray before you begin to read these things for yourself.
In The Book of Enoch, Satan appears as and old man….meaning that Satan can look different or change his appearance! In the Bible Angels appeared to Abraham and Sarah and others as men….. What did they choose to look like?
Even Jesus Christ, who is God, changed His appearance after He rose from the dead a few times so that those that knew Him did not recognize Him…. on 2 or 3 recorded occasions!
So what is this?
"They are Divine and Demonic high powered, magical beings"
who can choose to look like whomever, whenever they want to, in the drop of a dime.
The evil Demonic Angels hate Black Hebrew people or Jews! They created racism to have others who are weak on morality hate us, making living hell for us, and murder us for them!
These Demonic, Immortal, Magical, Powerful Superman-like Angels can wear camo, red plaid, kkk hoods, or police uniforms, but when they put on a literal Black face with Black humanoid body, they do the most damage!
They can then drive by and murder us; our Black community as a whole is blamed for this senseless act.
They sneak into our schools as us; as Black and Brown children and teachers who bully.
They sneak into our churches as Brother Clyde, Deacon Tim, Aunt Phyllis, or Cousin Mike.
They can even sneak into our homes as a known family member because before little Johnny came back from college, he was murdered and replaced by one of these Demonic Angels!
But before little Johnny was murdered then replaced by a Demonic Angel, this Demonic Angel learned everything about little Johnny and his kid sister, mom, and dad.
Then the Demonic little Johnny comes home as a evil mole, then he shoots up the neighborhood store, or church, or school, or little Johnny's family!
Everyone who knows the real little Johnny can't believe he would do such a thing…and they are right because the real little Johnny is dead and was replaced while away at college.
This is how Demonic Angels operate on every level and scenario you can imagine. This is the truth although I know it sounds like a hollywood low budget flix.
The plan is to kill our youth before they have a chance to discover their Lord God Jesus Christ aka Yeshua as their own personal Savior, thereby inadvertently sending their young souls to hell because they are murdered before they even have a chance.
We Black humans can not fight these Demonic Angels!
The best thing is to pray while asking God to save you by His atoning Blood, which He shed on Calvary, before it is too late!
We so-called Black Americans are the true Hebrews people of the Bible
and we are in the 3.5 year Great Tribulation…3-23-2022 thru 9-23-2025!
White people will not see the wickedness and slaughter that we will from the hands of these Demonic Angels, although some that are White with dark hair and dark eyes will be taken down as well by these Demonic Angels, just in case they too have enough Black blood in them to be truly Black as well.
I pray this helps.
Please pass it on if this rings true or not!

They feed off our pain!
Was pretty good…till the ending
The DC isn't working for me.😞
Don't read the comments!!! Some people can't help themselves and give away the plot/ending.😡
i sore this picture come up in my grandsons recommend on his machine i said that i watched this picture back when it first came out i was 8
THIS WAS REALLY DUMB
Masterpiece! thank u for this rare gem!! Hollywood has gone downhill since! GOD bless you!!! I thought that was Angela Murder She Wrote!!! So Young!!
Why does Hollywood always added sirupy violins, whenever people embrace each other. Totally silly thing. Except for that, not a bad movie, the story is a bit thin (it's no Double Indemnity etc.) and you kinda can guess what is going to happen. The cars and interiors compensate somewhat, the acting is quite good too.
Great old movie. Thanks
Good shtuff!
A plot so unbelievable, I am out.
I love this movie 👏👏👏👏
What a movie
This is my “go to movie”
I love this guy‼️
Look at him
People constructed an elaborate plot to kill him. He hadn’t hurt anyone. (Not purposely just out of negligence ) Didn’t deserve this treatment. But he tricked them and found real love too! Ha Ha ‼️
This is the first time I have heard an American accent from Angela, and portrayed as a flirt. Extremely good movie. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you. I thought the husband placed something in the coffee. He was so insistent that Edward have some. Wonder what was in the cookies.
An out-of-work architect meets a married woman who has a business proposition for him. The architect begins to suspect the woman's interest in him is not just financial and may actually be deadly.

Ok, why he did not stop the car when he was aware he cannot stay awake?
Uh, not too bad a movie I guess, but the second half really fell apart. I won't give anything away, but either Edward was an idiot…or just didn't care.
Watch it on fast forward & avoid the inept filling.
Love the classics!
