Sudden Fear (1952)

Joan Crawford stars in a sophisticated psychological thriller.  Jack Palance plays her greedy husband who plots to murder her to gain an inheritance. The first half of the movie is about they met and their relationship began.

Joan and Jack were both nominated for Oscars for their performances. Jack Palance was nominated for Supporting Actor, but it is a lead role. One of those Oscar oddities.

Highly recommended, especially if you are into digital audio recording and want to see what kind of recording equipment was used and being developed back in the early 50s.
