Thelma Jctrdon: Wendell Corey is the unhappy lawyer who falls in love with Barbara Stanwyck even though she's stolen and murdered. THELMA JORDON Cast: Barbara Stanwyck, Wendell Corey, Paul Kelly, Joan Tetzel. Paramount Wendell Corey's assistant district attorney, but his wife's family is too rich to please him. Every time he wants to buy wife (Joan Tetzel) a present, he discovers her old man got there first. In-law trouble makes him drink, drinking makes him more in-law trouble, and the night he meets Barbara Stanwyck, he's ripe for adventure. He gets more than he bargains for because Miss Stanwyck is planning to use him as a stooge. Miss Stanwyck is living with a rich and aged aunt whom she kills, when she's surprised in the act of swiping the lady's jewels. But that comes later. During a whole summer when Wendell's wife is at the beach with her mother, father, and the children, Wendell's dating Barbara, and falling in love. By the time of the robbery -murder, he's so sold on Barbara, he arranges for her lawyer, fixes it so the district attorney is disqualified from prosecuting Barbara, has himself appointed as prosecuting attorney, and proceeds to antagonize and bore the jury to death. This is known as throwing the case. Now everybody's got to be punished. An ex-boyfriend of Barbara's — he plotted Auntie's robbery originally — shows up, and when he won't go away, Barbara kills him and herself in an automobile crash. (She lives long enough to admit she loves Wendell.) Wendell makes a clean breast of everything to the district attorney, and is disbarred. It's a very sad end. It's also an extremely entertaining picture. Corey's wonderfully good, and the relationships between him and his wife, and him and Barbara, are treated in an adult and believable manner.
