Foster Actors: Production Company: Pine-Thomas Productions Release Date: 21 July 1949 (USA) Aspect Ratio: 1.37 : 1 Merle Kramer works as a stenographer for a psychiatrist. She is casually dating Karl Benson, a private eye and former cop. Merle mentions in passing that one of her boss's patients is an author with recurring dreams of murdering his wife, and she includes the fact that the wife owns valuable jewels.
