30 Days of Bette Davis (April) (30 items)
list by JRank

The schematic structure is aged and too previsible, and Merrill's character is too delcate to mend things, but Negulesco has flair and wit to make some noir underlines (in the Bette Davis affair), or noir comic in the Evelyn Varden (great impersonation of Bette) part.

While awaiting a delayed flight, a lawyer who has left his unfaithful wife, befriends three fellow passengers. After the plane crashes and he is among the few to survive, he feels compelled to contact the families of his dead friends.
