Témoin à charge (1957)
Sir Wilfrid, un brillant et expérimenté avocat spécialiste des Assises, sort d'un séjour prolongé à l'hôpital à la suite d'un infractus et d'un coma. Afin de prévenir de toute rechute, Il doit renoncer à s'occuper d'affaires criminelles trop stimulantes. C'est à ce moment que Leonard Vole, accusé du meurtre de Mme French, vient lui demander son aide. Bien que l'affaire paraisse passionnante, Sir Wilfrid refuse de s'en occuper pour préserver sa santé et conseille un autre avocat de son cabinet qu'il a lui-meêm formé, Me Brogan-Moore. Après le départ de Leonard Vole du bureau de Me sir Wilfrid, Christine Vole, l'épouse de Leonard, fait son apparition. Elle est son seul alibi pour le soir du meurtre. Son attitude très froide et son rôle crucial dans l'affaire font faire changer d'avis Sir Wilfrid, qui décide malgré les recommandations médicales de s'occuper de cette affaire fascinante aux rebondissements imprévus...
