Todsünde (1945)
Während einer Zugfahrt begegnet der erfolgreiche Schriftsteller Richard Harland der schönen Ellen die in einen Roman von Richard vertieft ist. Sie fühlen sich auf der Stelle voneinander angezogen und verlieben sich ineinander. Bereits nach kurzer Zeit heiraten die beiden, worüber sich alle, die sie kennen, freuen – mit Ausnahme von Ellens Verlobten, dem Politiker Russel Quinton Ellens Liebe zu Richard nimmt währenddessen obsessive Züge. Von krankhafter Eifersucht besessen will sie ihn ganz für sich alleine und beäugt argwöhnisch Jeden, der Richard zu nahe kommt. Unmittelbar betroffen ist nicht nur Ellens Adoptivschwester Ruth , sondern auch Richards jüngerer Bruder Danny . Als der gehbehinderte Junge seinen Wunsch äußert, bei Richard und Ellen leben zu dürfen, rastet Ellen endgültig aus und es kommt zur Katastrophe…
