A similar story (from a novel by Ira Levin) to A Place In the Sun, as young Robert Wagner resorts to murder to get in on the money. His victim is pregnant Joanne Woodward; he has his sights set on her sister, Virginia Leith. Jeff Chandler starts to think something fishy is up (luckily). With Mary Astor, George Macready (girls' steely father), Robert Quarry, Howard Petrie.
Quite stiltedly directed in that early CinemaScope way. Effective music (Lionel Newman) and photography (Lucien Ballard) - though in two supposed evening scenes it's clearly midday - tut, tut.
