The Woman in Question
The suspense-tense surprise of the year!
Directed by Anthony Asquith
Produced by J. Arthur Rank Organisation, Javelin Films
A classic film noir mystery that uses multiple unreliable perspectives and flashbacks to construct suspicion around a fortune teller's murder, prioritizing narrative puzzle-solving over emotional depth.
Agnes "Astra" Huston, a fortune teller at a run-down fair, is found strangled in her bedroom. As the police question five suspects, their interactions with her are shown in flashbacks from their point of view.
