I Thank a Fool

Released after serving 18 months, convicted mercy killer Dr. Christine Allison (Hayward) is hired by the ruthless prosecutor (Finch) who sent her to prison to care for his wife (Cilento), a mentally ill woman who accidentally killed her own father (Cusack). But when the alleged dead man turns up alive and his daughter dies of an overdose, Christine is accused of her patient's murder and nothing is quite what it seems.
