Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

A relatively grown-up but just as perky Bonita Granville in a slightly more adult, but also significantly less entertaining, version of the Nancy Drew films she had made in the late 1930s. It really is the definition of a "programmer": obviously shot quickly, directed without any style or inventiveness, and forgettable an hour after you've seen it. It does do a pretty good job of pointing the finger of suspicion at various characters, but then it goes and gives away the murderer about 10 minutes too early. Morgan Conway exudes no charm and is too old (20 years older, in fact) to be Bonita's romantic partner. If you miss this film, you won't be missing much. ** out of 4.

Always interesting to see Bonita Granville, a child star,growing up and in mature roles. This film is no exception where Granville plays a lady attorney, the girlfriend of the D.A. When their lawyer wife's friend is murdered, all clues seem to have her alcoholic husband as the culprit.The film shows that Granville goes through all sorts of routines to prove otherwise; even when she puts her life into danger.You will be able to guess who the real killer is as the film goes on. Unfortunately, it's highly predictable in the film.Nevertheless, the mystery is a good one, and it's certainly an example of film-noir for the 1946 period.

Morgan Conway stars with an adult Bonita Granville in "The Truth About Murder," a 1946 film.Granville plays Christine Allen, an attorney in love with the D.A. (Morgan Conway). She would like to practice law, but he wants her to marry him and garden and get pregnant. You think this film is a little dated? When a philandering friend of theirs (June Clayworth) is murdered, her husband is accused, and Christine takes his case.The film has a couple of holes, plus I knew who the murderer was about ten minutes in and then it all seemed so obvious as to be ridiculous.The performances are fine. There's something really neat about Morgan Conway - he had such a strong face and nice delivery - and Granville does a good job as well. I think this is the first adult thing I've seen her do.The end - well, let's just say the film is dated and leave it at that.

Competent B mystery. A nice opening, listen closely to the dialog. Bonita Granville is a forceful career woman who handles herself competently (given it's 1946), but don't miss the last line in the movie! First part moves along nicely, but slows down near the end as it gets less logical. It's entertaining with okay dialog.June Clayworth is good as a loose married woman. This film is apparently not on VHS or DVD, but I saw it on TCM.
