This of course is a real wild guess here and it may be altogether wrong too ( just giving the old college try here too )  . Could it have been this movie here ? The Postman Always Rings Twice 1946 Actually rereading you subject post here salzmank and from your description it does seem to really match the second movie mentioned here . Double Indemnity 1944 I remember watching that one last year on the channel TCM ( Turner Classic Movies ) . I only hope your friend will be able to find this lost treasure of a film too   . Good luck to you both on this too !  Thank you, Mszanadu. Your postings are always very kind (much-too-kind to silly ol' me and the ridiculous questions I ask!  ). One of the posters there also recommended Double Indemnity, a favorite of mine, and the plot is awfully close, but the OP said it's not the one. I went looking through Double Indemnity knock-offs (there was even one originally titled Single Indemnity!), a surprising many of which rose up after the film was made, but I could find none to match the plot she recalled. It's not The Postman Always Rings Twice, I'm fairly certain, because in that one they're planning to kill the husband, not the wife, and there's no letter sequence. But it is definitely that noir kind of movie, same sort of feel. My thanks again! You're most welcome salzmank and there is nothing silly or ridiculous about your posts or questions on these boards here either . I find your posts very interesting as well as really refreshing ( it's very nice to be able to chat with good folks like you on this wonderful new board as well ) . Also I really appreciate your kind words and input here too  . It's actually been awhile since I have watched either one of those movies also ( and agree a lot of these noir films do have very similar storylines ) . Again best of luck to you and your friend on hoping to find this lost treasure of a film too . Thanks so much again salzmank for your subject post and replies here too . |

I don't think its any Hitchcock film. Its not The Two Mrs Carrolls [1947] either, where Humphrey Bogart is attempting to kill his latest Wife.

I totally agree here Takeshi-K that's another really good and intriguing film that it might be too - good catch there  . A real different and unique role for Humphrey Bogart too . Thanks so much Takeshi-K - this all makes me want to binge watch all theses noir films mentioned here as a movie marathon again - very soon   . |

I guess I'll bump this thread again--once a day, Takeshi? The original poster hasn't yet responded to The Two Mrs. Carrolls, but I'm pretty sure that's not the one. |

Another question here that may help this poster to find this mysterious noir film too perhaps . Do you remember which actors or actresses played the characters in this noir film ( or any actors at all by name that may have stood out ) ? That's usually the next thing I would ask if I was looking for a particular film . |

That plot is almost identical to The first pilot episode of Columbo called Prescription Murder made in 1968. The plot is exactly the same except that its a plane instead of a train and there's no letter but there's a similar red herring gambit involving the mistress dropping off the Wife's clothes to be laundered by the hotel to make it seem like the Wife did that. This episode is feature length (about 94 mins) but its not black and white. I dont think its the answer, but worth checking out until I can think of something better. I like that episode, it's with Gene Barry, and yes, the husband murders his wife and has his mistress pretend to be her as an alibi. I'd like to watch it again |

I so enjoy that show and also watch it on MeTV Channel whenever I get a chance to . I'll have check out the rest of the collection on the web soon . Thanks Takeshi-K for this reminder . |

Your season one should have the episode I mentioned earlier - "Prescription: Murder". The man that tries to murder his wife is a doctor.

I'll ask her if she remembers any of the actors or actresses (though I think that if she did she would have posted them there). Just to let you know, though, she hasn't responded to any of my posts for two days, so--well--there's that. Thanks again, Salzmank |

I actually do have that episode on my season one collection and it's been awhile since I have watched it too . Definitely a great episode I may watch this one again soon ( it's that time again for another COLUMBO binge watch marathon ! ) . Also I really like how this show's episodes are done like TV Movies in running time as well . Another favorite show of mine done in that similar formula style was - McBride (film series) 2005 - 2008  . Thanks again Takeshi-K . |

Thanks as always, Salzmank Well there's still a chance she might respond back especially if it's only been about 3 days ( keeping a positive yet hopeful thought here for you ) . Sometimes it's so easy to get sidetracked with our daily lives and by the time we get back to the web & boards it seemed like a lifetime has past of missed messages & etc. . It happens to the best of us from time to time here . Again you're most welcome too Salzmank . |

Anyone else have any ideas? The OP there doesn't think it's another movie I found, Too Late for Tears (1949). Anyone know a film noir close to that one?
