No Motive for Murder - on the Contrary.......
Just finished watching this movie on Netflix.
Loved the performances, but wondered why George Sanders would attempt to kill Barbara Stanwyck, he had no motive: her accusations against him had all been discounted as the ravings of an unstable mind.
He was safe and in the clear.
If she had turned up dead, suspicion would've surely landed on the George Sanders character, even with a phony "suicide" note.
