A Life at Stake ~ 1954 -BW

QUICKIE: Hot chickie manipulates a guy into business with her while her & her hubbie plot his murder. Mwuah!

PLOT: A man goes into business with a married couple. He has an affair with the wife and then the husband and wife try to kill him and collect the life insurance.

SUMMARY: This movie is filled with great lessons to remember:
~If your business partner insists you take out a million dollar life insurance policy before going into business with them, it's a sure bet they're going to try and kill you soon! (DUH!)
~Never trust a dame who gets naked within the first hour of meeting you.
~Never negotiate business while necking with your partner.
~Never trust a dame whose business persuasion involves alcohol, nudity and/or sex.
~Never trust the husband who gives his wife half a million dollars to start her own business venture so she doesn't "get bored".
~Never, ever accept anything to drink from that husband who surprises you at their mountain cabin having a tryst with his wife.
~If a pair of french doors open out onto a 500 foot clean drop to the highway, it's a good bet somebody's gonna plummet to their death through them.
~Everybody wants to take your framed $1,000 bill that you keep in plain site, and kill you for it too.
~The innocent younger sister is a fountain of information & will readily spill if you're a little attentive.
~Even though you pay their salary, Cops hate you and think you're dumb. No really, they do.

Angela Lansbury (Jessica Fletcher of "Murder, She Wrote") plays a hot chick in a swimsuit. A hot, conieving, evil chick.
