Money and love make us do strange things

A hard nosed businessman and a lawyer fall for the same woman. When the businessman is murdered the police naturally eye the woman and her attorney as the top suspects. Using a series of flashbacks a plot of shrewd conniving unfolds and the dupes play their parts exactly as planned. I thought the criminal's doings were a little transparent and the ending more than a little predictable but still it was a passable film for a lazy afternoon.
