While her husband is away, Chris Hunter returns home to be accosted by an intruder whom she kills in self defence. However, she can not tell the police the whole story because the intruder was a married man whom she once had an affair with. Fearing what her husband might do if he discovers she had an affair, she tells police that the man was a total stranger and that he demanded her jewelry. A suspicious policeman suspects she is not telling the truth, and the dead mans widow and a crooked art dealer try to blackmail her. When police discover she had not told them the truth, she is brought to trial for murder.
THE UNFAITHFUL is a decent, first class production from Warner Brothers, with top notch performances from leads Sheridan, Scott, and Ayers. Eve Arden gives a memorable performance as Sheridan's gossipy cousin inlaw. Direction by Vincent Sherman is done with his usual skill and flair. The film runs at 119 mins, but it held my interest through out.
