Saturday, May 20 - The Accused

The Accused (1949)

A college professor accidentally kills one of her students in self-defense after he makes sexual advances toward her. She flees the scene out of fear and then tries to conceal her guilt from everyone including attorney Warren Ford, with whom she becomes romantically involved.

When college student Bill (Douglas Dick) grows inappropriately fond of psychology professor Wilma (Loretta Young) and tries to rape her, she fights back. But as she defends herself, she accidentally kills her attacker. Wilma then moves Bill's corpse to a nearby beach and makes his death look like the result of a cliff diving accident. But her guilt over the incident builds, and police Lt. Dorgan (Wendell Corey) begins to suspect that Wilma knows more about the death than she's letting on.
