Tikisoo Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 A family member has asked to ID a particular movie she half-saw on TCM, of which I haven't a clue. She describes this movie as being "b&w" and features 2 couples who are friends. One wife is involved with the other couple's husband and she writes a letter saying she wants to leave her husband. Possibly the husband is a Dr who makes house calls & is very good natured, which is why she can't face him with this bad news. Something happens so the woman changes her mind and the entire movie is her desperate attempt at intercepting this letter. Sounds familiar, but I just don't know off the top of my head. Anyone? (thanks in advance for helping me retain the illusion I know-it-all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Might be Cause for Alarm with Loretta Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalnovelty Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I agree that CAUSE FOR ALARM! is probably the one you're asking about. If it may help, here's a link to a detailed plot summary: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/752/Cause-for-Alarm-/full-synopsis.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The letter in CAUSE FOR ALARM is a letter written by the husband that says that his wife and her boyfriend are trying to kill him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think we all agree from the first that it's *Cause For Alarm* . It's just the details are a little muddled. But the premise of Loretta being frantic trying to get back the letter is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikisoo Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks guys. When I read the synopsis of Cause For Alarm from her film book, she said no, it wasn't it. And it didn't sound familiar to me either. I just read the synopsis musicalnovelty posted and THAT sounds correct-at least that's the movie I was recalling. I'll email that to her and see if that's what she had seen too. It was pretty riveting while she frantically tried to intercept that letter!
