Reviews:
"Despite this being a low budget B-movie, I enjoyed "The Lady Confesses". Part of it is because although the story is rather familiar, the film has some nice twists to keep it interesting and that show the writers were at their best.
The film begins with a lady learning that her fiancé's long-lost wife has suddenly shown up--just before she is to marry the guy (Hugh Beaumont)! Hugh responds to this by going off on a bender. Finally, a lady in a night club feels sorry for him and asks her to use a nearby room to sleep it off for the night. However, when he awakens in the morning, his wife has been murdered. Now he's the #1 suspect, as he had so much to gain by her death. But, his fiancée is determined to work behind the scenes to determine who REALLY murdered the wife.
As I said, it was a nice film because there were some good twists (which I won't tell you about because it would spoil it). And, although I've seen him in quite a few films, it's nice to see a young Beaumont (Beaver's dad from "Leave It To Beaver") in such a role. A nice combination of mystery, suspense and a bit of noir."
