(NOIR) Crime of Passion - 1957 *** 1/2


Barbara Stanwyck is a great actress. Completely unique. Here she plays a newspaper columnist who meets and falls in love with a police detective (Sterling Hayden). She refuses the offer of another job and moves with Hayden after they get married to Los Angeles. However, married life doesn't suit her, and she wishes that her husband would make more strides to move up in the world, instead of simply working for the sake of work. She decides to do whatever she can to push her husband up the ladder, even if it means betraying him. Worth a shot.
