What happens

The Woman in Question (released in the US as Five Angles on Murder) is a 1950 British murder mystery film directed by Anthony Asquith and starring Jean Kent, Dirk Bogarde and John McCallum. It was written by John Cresswell and Joseph Janni. After a woman is murdered, the complex and very different ways in which she is seen by several people are examined. It was loosely adapted into the 1954 Indian film Andha Naal. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
