The Trial of Vivienne Ware

The Trial of Vivienne Ware (1932) stars Joan Bennett as a woman accused of murdering her philandering fiancé. A flurry of whip pans and flashbacks unfolds as Ms. Ware's lawyer ex-boyfriend rises valiantly to her defense, and accusations and knives fly -- all reported breathlessly, in a nod to the film's radio origins, by ladies' correspondent ZaSu Pitts.
