This psychological thriller, set in the early 1950s, unravels a thrilling elegant mystery about an ex-tennis player star who plots to K*ll his wealthy wife.

Tony Wendice, who married his wife Margot for her money, now plans to murder her for the same reason. Tony arranges the perfect murder: he hires a scoundrel he once knew to strangle Margot, and arranges a brilliant alibi for himself. But on the night of the planned attack there is a thrilling surprise twist,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
