Description
A beauty contest winner from a small town (Bennett) impulsively marries a much older millionaire she just met, rejecting the fella (Tracy) who truly loves her. She soon discovers that her new husband not only has a sordid past, but that he is also insanely possessive and sadistically perverse. “The incidents soon assume a deadly crimson, culminating with Norton carrying his wife down to a pack of fierce Great Danes” (The New York Times).
