Witness to Murder
Witness to Murder (15-Apr-1954)
Director: Roy Rowland
Writer: Chester Erskine
Music Composed and Directed by: Herschel Burke Gilbert
Producer: Chester Erskine
Keywords: Drama, Film Noir, Murder Witness
A professional woman believes she witnesses the strangulation murder of a female in the apartment across the way; police investigate but cannot corroborate her story. As a hysterical post-menopausal and unmarried woman in the 1950s, she is of course immediately thrown into a mental asylum. B-grade film noir with minor flaws, though Barbara Stanwyck truly shines. Compare Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954), released nine months later.
