The Strange Love of Martha Ivers backdrop

The Strange Love of Martha Ivers 1946 Directed by Lewis Milestone

Fate drew them together… and only murder could part them!

Three childhood friends, Martha, Walter and Sam, share a terrible secret. Over time, the ambitious Martha and the pusillanimous Walter have married. She is a cold businesswoman; he is the district attorney: a perfect combination to dominate the corrupt city of Iverstown at will. But the unexpected return of Sam, after years of absence, deeply disturbs the life of the odd couple.
