Get twice the femme fatales with Barbara Stanwyck and Lizabeth Scott in this classic and twisted Film Noir. Three childhood friends, Martha, Walter, and Sam share a terrible secret. Over time, the ambitious Martha and the pusillanimous Walter have married. She is a cold businesswoman; he is the district attorney: a perfect combination to dominate the corrupt city of Iverstown at will. But the unexpected return of Sam, after years of absence, deeply disturbs the life of the odd couple.
