Barbara Stanwyck is the eponymous character of this classic noir, a woman of wealth and position in her small community, and the wife of local district attorney, Walter O'Neil, a self-loathing alcoholic whom she holds in contempt. When her old friend Sam Masterson arrives in town after an absence of many years, asking Walter's help for Toni Marashek, a woman unjustly accused of a crime, Martha fears that Sam will reveal what he knows about the events that transpired on the night that he left town long ago. (official distributor synopsis)
