An unhappy wife uses her powers of manipulation to draw an infatuated man into an ill-fated jewellery heist.

In 1956 Paramount studios expended a great deal of money on the "The Scarlet Hour" and enlisted the services of top-flight director Michael Curtiz. The result is an outstanding and rarely seen Film Noir.

Starring Carol Ohmart, Tom Tryon & Jody Lawrance.
