The Girl in the News (1940)

A solid little UK thriller directed by Carol Reed.
Nurse Anne Graham is controversially - but rightly - acquitted of murder after her elderly patient dies in suspicious circumstances. Changing her name she gets a position nursing wheelchair-bound Edward Bentley, little suspecting that his wife and the butler are lovers setting Anne up so that when Bentley is found dead it looks like a repeat of the earlier case.

Wonderful Margaret Lockwood film. As good as The Lady Vanished. Thank you so much.

This movie perfectly captures the state of technology and jurisprudence in 1940. I love how the cute little camper played a role. I was hoping that the evidence of the kitten would be introduced, but no.
