True Confession
THEY'RE ON ANOTHER BENDER!
Directed by Wesley Ruggles
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A screwball comedy-crime romp where a wife's compulsive lying about a murder creates chaos that tests her marriage and lands her in court.
A writer takes a job as a secretary because her scrupulous husband isn't bringing in the dough as an attorney. When her new employer is murdered, she can't seem to make up her mind as to whether she "dunnit" or not.
