In this classic melodrama acclaimed for its lush Academy Award-winning cinematography, Gene Tierney’s arresting portrayal of a jealous woman earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

Though she is engaged to a politician (Vincent Price) Ellen (Tierney) lures the handsome Richard (Cornel Wilde) into marriage after knowing him for just a few days. But Richard soon learns from her sister (Jeanne Crain) and mother (Mary Philips) that Ellen’s selfish, possessive love has ruined other people’s lives.

When his own brother drowns in Ellen’s care and she has an accident that kills her unborn child, Richard grows increasingly suspicious of her insatiable devotion.
