They Won't Believe Me
He lived a lie that led him from one disastrous love to another!
Directed by Irving Pichel
Produced by RKO Radio Pictures
A noir-inflected courtroom drama where a charming liar's tangled romantic deceptions unravel into murder, told through an unreliable confession that blurs guilt and circumstance.
On trial for murdering his girlfriend, philandering stockbroker Larry Ballentine takes the stand to claim his innocence and describe the actual, but improbable sounding, sequence of events that led to her death.
