A Woman's Secret
As singing star Susan Caldwell lies dying with a bullet lodged in her heart, Marian Washburn, the voice teacher responsible for her remarkable career confesses to the murder. But the police doubt Marian's guilt as they listen to the unfolding drama of A Woman's Secret.Aspiring singer Susan Caldwell (Gloria Grahame) was a failure with no style and a limited range when Marian Washburn (Maureen O'Hara) found her. But Marian heard something in the woman's voice that she could mold into a brilliant instrument. Over years of vocal training, lessons on how to perform and the creation of a stunning visual style, Marian guides Susan Caldwell to stardom--and vicariously lives the life that was denied Marian when her own voice gave out. But when Susan announces that she wants to give it all up, Marian snaps and--she claims--murders the person she created.Screenplay by Herman J. Mankiewicz (Citizen Kane) based on the novel Mortgage on Life by Vicki Baum.
