Selznick. The film stars Gregory Peck, Alida Valli, Charles Laughton, Charles Coburn, Ethel Barrymore, and Louis Jourdan.In London, England, Maddalena Anna Paradine (Valli) is a young woman who is accused of poisoning her older, wealthy blind husband. Anthony Keane (Peck), a brilliant and successful barrister, is assigned to defend her in court. Although Keane is married, he instantly becomes deeply infatuated with Mrs. Paradine, and it is not clear whether she is a grateful and devoted wife who has been falsely charged, or a calculating and ruthless femme fatale.

 Ambiguous Situation: It is unclear if Keane pursuits proving that Latour commited the murder because he genuinely believes he could be the true culprit, or because he only sees him as a suitable scapegoat on whom he can pin the murder and lift the blame from Mrs. Paradine.

 Accidental Public Confession: Type 1. Mrs. Paradine is furious after Latour commits suicide, because as it turns out, he was her lover, and during her moment of rage to Keane blaming him for Latour's suicide, she blurts out that she poisoned her husband in order to be with Latour.
