Bedelia

Bedelia Carrington lives with her husband in Monte Carlo. From outside it looks like a happy marriage. Her husband Charlie Carrington is devoted to her. In their circle there is a young man named Ben Chaney. He presents himself as a painter. He looks into Bedelia’s past with a curious concern. The questions he asks grow sharper by degrees. It emerges that the man is not a painter. Chaney is in fact a detective. The more he looks, the more a pattern appears in the past. Bedelia had husbands before this one. She poisoned them for the insurance money. Her appetite for money lies behind all of it. Margaret Lockwood and Ian Hunter appear in the ninety minute film, a British production Lance Comfort finished in 1946.
