What The Pretender Is About
An investment agent embezzles a large sum from an estate he manages. To cover the gap he plans to marry the heiress, but she is already engaged. So he arranges to have the fiancé killed. Then a mix up in the society pages of a newspaper makes him the target of his own hired gun, and the man is caught inside the trap he set. The film speaks from within the dark American crime cinema of the forties and draws its tension not from the chase but from the waiting. Albert Dekker plays the lead in W. Lee Wilder’s sixty nine minute American film, completed in 1947.
