Histoire

- AnecdotesAt the crime scene, one of the detectives says the victim always bought his groceries with nothing "smaller that a $20 bill" and "all the bills were of a large, old-fashioned type that aren't in circulation anymore." The large-sized currency (50% bigger than current bills) was minted from 1861 to 1929.

Inspector Stevens: A whole series of coincidences, just like you said the other night.
Ann Quinn: Coincidences? That's how you convicted my husband! He dies tomorrow night. It isn't right a man should die on circumstantial evidence alone. Can't you say anything?
Inspector Stevens: Our hands are tied, Mrs. Quinn.
Ann Quinn: All you're interested in is killing somebody! You don't care who it is, just as long as you kill somebody! Well, it'll be on your conscience, you hear?

Written by Frédéric Chopin
[Played by prisoner #3 on his phonograph]
Through a series of dumb choices, a guy is arrested for murdering his neighbor. But the dumb things really were just dumb things and he didn't kill anyone. However, the jury doesn't believe him and the schnook is sentenced to death. The rest of the film consists of his loving wife trying to prove he's no murderer and she enlists the help of a strange police detective (Regis Toomey) to help her.
This movie is very intelligently written. And, towards the end when I assumed the writers screwed up, it turned out to be okay...it was no mistake and the script was very tight and enjoyable. I'd say more but don't want to divulge any of the twists in the story...suffice to say it's never dull and is a most unusual movie.
