Crawford had it all figured out, but it did not go as planned. But her potential murderers both ended up dead.
#SuddenFear
Oh! The shadow of the clock pendulum on her as she looks at the schedule of the critical minutes! Genius!
Joan Crawford has a sophisticated sting she is setting up here to avoid being murdered.

Here for some #SuddenFear on #NoirAlley
OK, did not expect to see a Jack Kerouac connection.
And yes, I think someone needs to write about Lenore Coffee. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #SuddenFear
Love that they focus on her, with only a brief cutaway to show how bad teh wreck is. The scarf washing away and her walking into the night is a nice touch. #NoirAlley #TCMparty #SuddenFear
Irene and Myra are wearing the exact same outfit.
This is not going to end well. Not with Jack gunning the car... #NoirAlley #TCMParty #SuddenFear
Gods. The shadows The edit. The cinematography. I'm amazed. Brilliant work. Tense as a piano wire.
And poor cat. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #SuddenFear
Betrayed by the handkerchief. She knows everything.
And now we get some San Francisco night photography. Gods. Love this. Bet they didn't have to slick down the streets at all. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #SuddenFear
My gods, this feels like Blue Velvet. Wonder if Lynch ever saw this.
And the shadows practically drip off the walls here. Well done, Mr. Charles Lang.
Oh, no. She's having an attack of conscience. Stiff upper lip, Myra. Stiff upper lip! #NoirAlley #TCMParty #SuddenFear
And, as always, things don't go as planned - thanks to "Touch" Conners!
The metronome and piano are very subtle, yet intense and propulsive. Again, well done, sir. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #SuddenFear
I hear Stringer Bell yelling out during this sequence: "Are you taking notes on a criminal conspiracy?!?"
But damn, the music and editing realy click here as she imagines the crime to the ticking of the clock. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #SuddenFear
I have to admit, Jack Pallance does have a very hypnotic reading voice... #NoirAlley #TCMParty #SuddenFear
Oh, very slick. The way she dropped the note in his pocket. Still trying to figure out her end game. Is she going to hunt one down, frame the other for the murder?
Ah, now I understand the fake bruise.
And wow, every sentence now feels like a death curse. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #SuddenFear
"Always 'rum' for one more!" - Touch Conners, ladies and gentleman. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #SuddenFear
"Lester, It's got to be tonight."
"It's got to be an accident. A quick accident."
Ah, classic Gloria. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #SuddenFear
