Inhaltsangabe: Arnold Shawn is a lawyer who is defending a man invovled in a hit-and-run accident. Arnold's wife Naomi worries about her marriage. She knows that Arnold is seeing another woman. During the trial, Shawn discredits a witness to the accident named Babcock. Without his glasses, he is blind. Later Naomi kills her husband in a hit-and-run. The discredited Babcock is the only witness.

Info: This one has an gratifying twist ending although one will most likely see it coming ahead of time. Brian Keith is quite smarmy as the cheating husband/ruthless lawyer Arnold Shawn and succeeds very well in making his character unlikable. Leora Dana as the jilted wife and William Hansen as the misinterpreted witness do quite well in their respective roles.
