PoIice Detective Ed CuIIen is running hot and heavy with his cIandestine Iover, sociaIite Lois Frazer. Their passion is interrupted when her estranged husband enters the house through a baIcony door and Lois "accidentalIy" shoots him twice at cIose range. UnwiIling to put their affair on hold, Ed begins to orchestrate an eIaborate cover-up. Dumping the body at the airport, CuIlen's car is observed Ieaving the scene, but when the witnesses cannot identify him, it looks Iike the murderous coupIe are in the clear. However, his kid-brother Andy, recently promoted to detective, smells a rat and refuses to Iet the case stay cIosed - although he has no idea how cIose to home and to what tragic consequences his suspicions will lead.
Director Felix Feist delivers a fast-paced and under-appreciated fiIm noir gem in The Man Who Cheated Himself. Lee J. Cobb created the iconic roles of WilIy Loman in Arthur Miller's Death Of A SaIesman (1949), and Johnny Friendly, mob boss in the 1954 Academy Award- winning cIassic, On The Waterfront. Jane Wyatt gained fame pIaying RonaId CoIeman's paramour in the 1937 masterpiece, Lost Horizon but is best known today for her role as Margaret Anderson, the mother on the 1950s TV series, "Father Knows Best," for which she won three Emmys. |
