This past Sunday on January 22, 2023, I was looking through the category log of my television app.
I was in the mood to look at classic suspense/crime/mystery films for the day.
I came across a title called “Witness to Murder (a film I had never seen before) starring one of my favorite old-time actresses- Barbara Stanwyck.
I really liked this black and white movie.
In the opening scene, Barbara’s character wakes up from her sleep to see a man in an apartment window straight across from her bedroom window in the act of murdering a woman.
Without giving too much of the story away, Barbara phones up the police but when they arrive on the scene there is no evidence of any crime having been committed.
When the killer discovers that Barbara’s character is aware of what he did, he cunningly tries his best to make her appear to be crazy and harassing, in effort to throw everybody off to the truth at hand.
Barbara Stanwyck was such a talent in her time here on earth.
One of my other favorite suspense films of hers is one that I saw a long time ago called “Sorry, Wrong Number“.
Afterwards, I watched another film that I never saw starring Barbara Stanwyck titled “Crime of Passion”. Raymond Burr also starred in this entertaining flick.
Barbara Stanwyck was so classy! I love her movies, including this one and “Sorry, Wrong Number.” Great post!
Yes! Barbara Stanwyck was so full of class and beauty! She was a wonderful actress.
My mother loved her in the Big Valley series too when she starred with a young Linda Evans.
I also remember when she was cast in The Colbys- The Dynasty spin-off back in the 1980’s. Such good memories!
