The Pretender (1947)
Corrupt stockbroker Kenneth Holden (Albert Dekker) embezzles from his wealthiest client, Claire Worthington (Catherine Craig), before deciding to propose marriage. Already engaged, Claire refuses and doesn't identify her fiancé, provoking Holden to turn to a gangster to find the man and murder him. While the assassin waits for a newspaper announcement with a picture to identify the fiancé, Claire suddenly agrees to marry Holden -- who then panics when their engagement picture is printed.
