Stewart Granger (Footsteps in the Fog), Donna Reed (Scandal Sheet), George Sanders (Endless Night), and Italian sex symbol Gianna Maria Canale (I vampiri) star in The Whole Truth, a wry suspense thriller set on the French Riviera.
When film producer Max (Granger) begins an affair with Gina (Canale), the star of his latest production, it isn't long before she threatens to tell his wife, Carol (Reed), what is going on. However, the price of Gina’s silence changes for Max when she is found murdered, and he must convince Inspector Carliss of the Yard (Sanders) of his innocence...
Directed by John Guillermin (Town on Trial), photographed by Wilkie Cooper (The 7th Voyage of Sinbad), and co-written by Philip Mackie (The Naked Civil Servant), The Whole Truth is a stylishly shot and tautly plotted murder mystery.
