Cause For Alarm (1951)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Decent thriller has an ill husband writing a letter to the D.A. saying his wife (Loretta Young) and doctor are trying to give him an overdose for his insurance money. When the wife finds out of the letter, it's a mad dash to get it back before it reaches the D.A.. This thriller works fairly well but it should and could have been a lot better. Young is quite good in the role as the paranoid wife but the biggest problem is what her character does throughout the film. I won't give away any spoilers but she does more harm than is needed and the cheap ending doesn't really solve anything that has came up before it.
