YOU'D think as happy and as in love a couple as Bette Davis and her husband, Gary Merrill, would have picked a real romantic vehicle for their first co-starring effort. But no, they've chosen an exciting murder melodrama in which they're both A-1 scoundrels. In the story, Gary pretends, with her consent, of course, he's Bette's husband after discovering she's poisoned him. Gary weighs down the victim with stones and dumps him into a lake. It is then that Bette announces the husband was not dead, merely drugged and declares that Gary is his murderer. You'll be intrigued at Bette and Gary's adept handling of suspense and action in their ruthless tale of murder, suspicion and vengeance. Ncreenland Salutes Tk kry Merrills Emlyn Williams toasts Bette and Gary Merrill with a "Here's long life to both of you," in scene in exciting "Another Man's Poison." Left: Director Irving Rapper and husband Gary Merrill are amused by Bette Davis' humor between scenes of "Another Man's Poison," filmed at the Nettleford Studios, England. Below: "You don't have any choice now . . ." Gary reminds Bette as their murderous guilt binds them to each other in "Another Man's Poison." But not for very long! 1
