TENSION **

A noirish thriller with a good cast, (Richard Basehart, Audrey Totter, Barry Sullivan, Cyd Charisse), and an excellent plot, (Basehart is the mild-mannered chemist planning on killing his faithless wife's lover). It was directed by John Berry, a minor jobbing director who made at least one outstanding film, ("He Ran All the Way"), in his relatively short career. This isn't quite in the same class, (it gets rather convoluted before it's over), but it does what it says on the tin and both Basehart and Totter are excellent.
