The File on Thelma Jordon • 1h 40m
Directed by Robert Siodmak • 1950 • United States
Starring Barbara Stanwyck, Wendell Corey, Paul Kelly
Having established herself as the screen’s ultimate femme fatale in DOUBLE INDEMNITY, Barbara Stanwyck once again went bad—as only she could—in this brooding noir, directed with a surfeit of shadowy style by genre great Robert Siodmak. Here, she’s the shady lady concealing a less-than-wholesome past who strikes up an affair with a married, easily manipulated assistant district attorney (Wendell Corey)—just the guy to get her out of a jam when her wealthy aunt turns up dead.
