Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (1956)


IMDb plot summary: A novelist aided by his future father-in-law conspires to frame himself in the murder of a stripper as part of an effort to ban capital punishment.
Directed by Fritz Lang. Starring Dana Andrews, Joan Fontaine, Sidney Blackmer, and Arthur Franz.

This is a beautifully structured script. Interesting, well-paced, and brings the audience right along with it. One of my favorite Langs.

How it entered my Flickchart:

Final spot: #486 out of 2743.
