1h 48m
Directed by Richard Fleischer • 1955 • United States
Starring Ray Milland, Joan Collins, Farley Granger
Inspired by one of the most notorious scandals of the early twentieth century, this lavishly mounted crime melodrama recounts the perverse love triangle that unfolded between Evelyn Nesbit (Joan Collins), a glamorous model and showgirl; her older lover, the prominent architect Stanford White (Ray Milland); and her wealthy, possessive husband, Harry Kendall Thaw (Farley Granger). This toxic brew of jealousy and obsession culminates in a murder that rocks New York high society and spawns the trial of the century.
