The picture, which is being released by United Artists, co-stars Willlam Bendix, Dennis O'Keefe and Bar- bara Britton. Alfred E. Green di- rected from an original story by Jerome Odlum and Jonathan Rix. The setting of the story is in a small midwestern city, on the eve of Christmas. Apparently a suicide has occurred, but the victim is not mourned by any of his fellow-cit- izens. As a specialf insurance inves- tigator from Chicago, Denni O’Keefe, comes to the swift conclu- sion that the “suicide” is really a cover up for murder. William Bendix is said to be ex- cellent as the philosophical sheritt who knows all the answers but won’t give, and Barbara Britton turns in |a telling performance as the daugh- ter of the leading suspect. O'’Keefe is perfect as the investigator and the fine supporting cast includes Art Baker and Ann E. Todd.
