Mystery Keane (Gregory Peck) is a handsome, young lawyer who falls in love with a beautiful client named Paradine (Alida Valli), a woman accused of murdering her blind husband. Although he's convinced of her innocence, love may be clouding the barrister's judgment. The unsavory truth of the case is revealed during the course of a highly dramatic trial.

	Media	Author	Review
		Bosley Crowther The New York Times	"Hitchcock has made the best of a difficult script and has got as much tension in a courtroom as most directors could get in a frontier fort"
		Chuck Bowen Slant	"An eccentric courtroom procedural that’s infused with the director’s perversity and enlivened by his profound imagination"
		Variety Staff Variety	"Alfred Hitchcock’s penchant for suspense, unusual atmosphere and development get full play."
