I agree with with other reviews, with a couple of small points. Alan Lee, who played Dave Kemp, did an excellent job of portraying a crooked sleazebag detective (slimey cigar, and all). Mostly, Arthur Space who was Willard Scott, browbeaten husband of Arlene; the incessant shrew who would not give her husband "A minute's rest" for sixteen years. When he was trapped, on the stand by Perry, his acting made it seem like the gas chamber would be not punishment, but relief from punishment.
Della was beautiful, as usual, and one thing that I should say is that these stories can be complicated. That is true; so is life. I get a little frustrated myself with how stupidly some of Perry's clients behave, but I think that Gardner and the screenwriters had decided to show silly behavior can quickly spin into bad results.
