One of those great little B-Movies that not many people have seen. Barbara Stanwyck, (excellent as usual), sees George Sanders, (also very good), murder a girl in the apartment opposite but no-one believes her except, of course, the killer who goes out of his way to convince the police she's insane.
Ok, so "Witness to Murder" may not have the most original of plots but it's certainly a tale well told and what it does have, as well as a bona-fide star turn from Stanwyck, is some stunningly good atmospheric black and white cinematography from the great John Alton, a very good screenplay by Chester Erskine and first-rate direction from the underrated Roy Rowland. A real treat.
