At 52 Views.
Correct, Eve. I dug this 1955 film up from memory, having seen it on TV in about 1964. I had read the source novel a couple of years before. Researching before posing clues, I found a pretty strong sentiment for both a TCM airing and a DVD print. *The View From Pompey's Head* is on the TCM list, and has a very full plot summary for anyone who is interested. (The same is true of the last movie I posted here, *Five Finger Exercize* ). I'd like to know what clued you in to the answer. Richard Egan?

A few more facts come in: Inquiries sent to a contact in the city where the checks were mailed reveal that they were cashed at a farmers' market in a Black part of town that catered mostly to Black customers. As the wife suspected, the deceased executive may have been routing the funds to this woman, but now there was a possibility that there was an interracial relationship. The lawyer still needed to know what the author could tell him about it. Finally, through the wife, an appointment is set for him to meet with the author in the pleasent garden on his estate.

The wronged author: War hero (WWI Ace), adventurer, brilliant and popular writer. Now aging, ill and going blind. Married to a local blueblood, and the wife is the one complaining about the unpaid royalties. An official of the pubishing firm, now deceased, seems to have diverted the royalties elsewhere, and the checks were cashed by a woman. The wife's verdict: "___'s been buying black panties for some ****!" The lawyer is finding it difficult to get a face-to-face interview with the writer himself.

Divisions along racial, social and economic lines. A woman who once had been the lawyer's sweetheart had married socially beneath her station in order to marry money and get her husband to purchase and renovate her family's former estate.

This one hasn't got legs. That was Mel Brooks' first speech in *High Anxiety* (1977)

The film is a satire, one of this actor-producer-director's specialities.

Locale: Southeastern US coastal region. A lawyer from a New York firm who had grown up in the vacinity of the author's home, goes back there to investigate. Meets old friends and makes new acquaintences. Renewed memories of why he left.

Thanks, finance. Accidental good luck. -- I scoped out *Seven-Ups* recently with the thought of posting it myself. For my money, a strong contender for the best urban chase scene ever, giveortake *Bullitt*.
New one: Serious charges that a book publishing firm has robbed one of it's authors of a large sum of money by diverting his royalty checks to another party -- a woman. The author's wife is the complaining party. Mid 50s. Color.

Thanks, Eve.
Another one; also should not be hard:

At some 150 Views or so, this has about used me up.
*Five Finger Exercize* (1962) had Jack Hawkins and Rosalind Russell as the parents. Richard Beymer as the son. Daughter Annette Gorman's career tapered off after a few TV sitcom appearences. For Maximilian Schell, the tudor was his first role after taking home his Oscar for *Judgement At Nuremberg*.
Open thread. I'll come back with another title in about 24 hours if no one has posted by then.
