Witness to Murder (1954)

Synopsis: A woman witnesses a murder in the building next to hers, through her apartment's window, but the murderer conceals the body before the police arrives, so nobody believes her.
Appraisal: Almost nothing makes much sense in this half-baked suspense story. Also, the musical score is so annoyingly intrusive that it appears that they are trying to take the viewer's attention away from the inane plot. The highlight of the film is a sequence inside a mental institution. It's not much of a highlight though, and the rest of the film is just too bad, so don't waste your time with it.
Rating: 9
