Description: Rex Harrison stars as an English aristocrat and conductor who, despite being madly in love with his wife (Linda Darnell) realizes as a result of several misunderstandings that she may be cheating on him. He imagines his wife was consorting with his secretary, Tony (Kurt Krueger). As he conducts the orchestra in concert that evening, Harrison imagines several scenarios - one in which he kills his wife and cleverly frames Tony for the murder; one in which he pays her off; and one where he challenges Tony to a game of Russian roulette. Of course, when he actually tries to carry them out, things don't go quite as he imagined.
