When I alerted "Black Widow" the other day, I didn't realize it also streams free on youtube. So if you'd like a stylish, 50's murder mystery set amid the Broadway theater crowd, this might be for you:
"Black Widow"-- Gene Tierney, Ginger Rogers, Van Heflin, Peggy Ann Garner, George Raft, Reginald Gardner

Wow, thanks so much for all that, @MarnieRez3 . I love the way you pick up on things -- you must have a vivid, highly visual memory. Truly, those sets were amazing, the midcentury accents, and the chinoiserie. Love!
Many many interesting little touches. Loved the "hat check girl" at "Sylvia's" who alerts Van Heflin to Peggy Ann Garner's "purpose girl" nature, ha. That actress's name slips my mind at the moment, but she was active more in theater, and I think I read she was blacklisted at some point.
Did you notice that when "Nancy Ordway" first arrived at her uncle's Greenwich Village apartment, he quickly concealed the pair of gloves that were lying on a table? It was a little throwaway thing, but they never made anything of it later on, unless I missed it?
I'm so glad Van Heflin got the "Peter Denver" part, even though he wasn't their first choice. He's always so completely plausible in everything he did. Apparently the film was based on a series of books featuring that character-- I'd like to hunt them up...

Did you all catch Aaron Spelling in this film?

I did not until you pointed it out, @Group 5 minus 1 -- good call, it is Aaron Spelling, I'm sure!
Edited to add: The guy in the gray suit in the photo in the other "Black Widow" thread, in case anyone's wondering what we're talking about!

The party guest stumped me for a bit, @MarnieRez3 but could it have been Bea Benederet? (Speaking of trivia, she who later played "Kate" the mother on "Petticoat Junction"?)
