Barbara Stanwyck as invalid wife who has been marked for murder by her husband. She is a privileged brat, so it's interesting that she is able to elicit our sympathy. I guess murder does that. Burt Lancaster is the husband, uneducated and clearly tired of bossy-invalid Barbara. Based on a radio play, and there are lots of phone calls. I will try to find the radio play and listen to it.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
