Films are, of course, fantasy worlds. In this one, we have a guy who allegedly murdered his wife, was on death row, got off on a technicality, and isn't altogether bothered about it. There's a woman who meets this guy for two minutes and ends up marrying him. And then she has second thoughts? Viewer, you should too, about watching this movie. (Let's not even mention how an old flame got on a jury.) If lightning did hit this (even once), it left some gaping holes.

Ciúme que Mata estreava há 70 anos nos EUA. É um noir que descamba para o melodrama, o maior problema do que seria a sua tentativa de manter um suspense é ter a Mercedes McCambridge no elenco quando a gente sabe que ela sempre é a vilã. Rip no PirateBay.

Had the angles of mystery with some actors playing interesting characters, but at the same time the mystique felt a little bare. Another one where Mercedes McCambridge makes the most of it. Also fun to see Zachary Scott in that charmer role. Unusual for him. Richard Todd & Ruth Roman in the leads were fine, but this one was elevated more from those that surrounded them.
