One of the last Fox Bs

Backlash" from 1947 stars John Eldredge, Robert Shayne, Jean Rogers, Richard Travis, and Louise Currie.

Shayne, Inspector Henderson from the '50s Superman, has a larger part than usual.

John Eldredge is an attorney named John Moreland. When he appears to have died in a fiery car crash, his wife (Rogers) is a main suspect. Moreland has been poisoned not once but twice, probably at her hand, but insists that the doctor not report it. However, his law partner (Shayne) owes him $40,000, so there's another suspect.

The detectives in charge (Richard Benedict and Larry Blake) find the whole thing suspicious. If your wife is trying to kill you, why wouldn't you say so?

There are some other complicating factors, making for a muddled story with a lot of unnecessary dialogue. Also, the acting was very stiff.

This is a 20th Century Fox film, in fact, one of the last, as the B movie section would shut down and the head of it, Sol Wurtzel, eventually retired.

You can really see why after viewing this.

Curiosidades
The seductive Italian dialogue Sgt. Carey uses to sweet talk the blonde secretary at approximately the 35 minute mark roughly translates to "I think it would be great to make a nice dish of pasta and meatballs"

Erros de gravação
As O'Neil waits in another room to murder Red, one of the detectives climbs in through a window right behind O'Neil without making a sound, surprising O'Neil. But as the detective does this only a foot or so from O'Neil, O'Neil would have had to have been hard of hearing if not deaf to have not heard someone climbing in a window right behind him. Unless, of course, that was what was in the script.

Citações
John Morland: Murder, my friend, is like a game of solitaire. To be sure of winning it, it should be played alone.

Cenas durante ou pós-créditos
The version airing on the Fox Movie Channel has credits in a modern, video-generated font, suggesting that the original main and end titles are lost and were quickly and cheaply re-created.
