Despite a certain shocking similarity to Russell's film on Rossetti, "Dante's Inferno", this is much closer to Hitchcock's The Trouble With Harry, reversed in such a way that the late husband comes up with the winning ticket.
His insurance agent poisoned him and married the widow. A winning Irish Sweepstakes ticket is in the blue suit worn by the deceased. It's obtained, husband and wife quarrel, he tries to kill her. She's been forewarned, and plucks it out of his pocket on his way to the electric chair.
Hiller's technique is very rapid and very humorous. Reporters spill into the living room out of nowhere with news from the Auld Sod, arranging themselves and the lady for pictures with a questionnaire. She takes a bubble bath three times, he toys with an electric heater. "The first thing I'm going to do," she tells the press, "is buy me a house with a heated bathroom." The brisk but very unhurried tempo casts Steve Forrest (the husband) and James Gregory (investigator) in a new light around Joanna Moore as the merry widow.
