Witness for the Prosecution

Based on an Agatha Christie play, this Oscar-nominated mystery directed and co-written by Billy Wilder concerns an esteemed and aging lawyer (Charles Laughton).

Things get complicated when the accused's only alibi, his wife (Marlene Dietrich), decides to testify for the prosecution.
