Director: Otto Preminger
Starring: Dana Andrews, Alice Faye, Linda Darnell
USA / 97mins / PG
Thrown off a bus for not having enough for the fare, Eric Stanton (Dana Andrews), a press agent down on his luck finds himself in a small Californian coastal town and begins to frequent a diner called "Pop's Eats" whose main attraction is a beautiful waitress by the name of Stella (Linda Darnell). In love with Stella but broke, Eric decides to marry June (Alice Faye), a wealthy but reclusive woman and plans to divorce her as soon as possible to get her money. However, an unexpected dark twist gets in the way of Stanton’s plans and throws him into a dark world of paranoia, betrayal, suspicion and death.
