Nora Prentiss
Would you keep your mouth shut if you were Nora Prentiss?
Directed by Vincent Sherman
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A classic film noir about a respectable doctor's moral unraveling through an illicit affair, built on deception, guilt, and the consequences of choosing passion over duty.
Quiet, organised Dr. Talbot meets nightclub singer Nora Prentiss when she is slightly hurt in a street accident. Despite her misgivings, they become heavily involved, and Talbot finds himself faced with the choice of leaving Nora or divorcing his wife. When a patient expires in his office, a third option seems to present itself.
