Louis Hayward (Stephen) is an unsuccessful novelist with manuscript after manuscript being returned to him in his fancy house by the river. One day, he is advised to spice things up. So, he goes after his maid Dorothy Patrick (Emily) for some hanky-panky whilst his wife Jane Wyatt (Marjorie) is away with friends. However, the maid is not interested and he unintentionally kills her just at the moment that his brother Lee Bowman (John) arrives. Together, they cover up the crime but the brothers are at odds with each other as to what to do. Hayward's manipulative manner persuades Bowman to go along with him. Can the cover-up hold together?
It's an entertaining film that leaves you siding with Bowman. Unless you are a psycho. It has an excellent setting in the house and river and the cast are good except for the fat maid. She is irritating. This film has shades of Nicola Bulley who was found among the reeds recently in the UK.
Time to write a novel. And yes, whilst I agree that there should be truth in what you write in terms of real-life experiences, I think you can omit the whole truth about everything. How dumb would that be!
