[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 440096, member: 7"] Without much prior knowledge, I decided to watch ANOTHER MAN'S POISON (1951) today because it's available you-know-there. For some reason, I also get the title of this movie confused with Davis' other movie, PHONE CALL FROM A STRANGER, where she plays a much smaller role (I've yet to see that movie). Don't ask me why... it's just one of those things that get jumbled in my head somehow. Anyhoo, ANOTHER MAN'S POISON was actually a good little British suspense/thriller film that I thoroughly enjoyed. Davis is a woman spinning a web of deception (as per usual of her in many of her films), and it all comes back to her in the end. She has some good on-screen chemistry with her then-husband Gary Merrill (whom she met on the set of ALL ABOUT EVE the previos year), and I liked the performances of the rest of the main cast: Emlyn Williams, Anthony Steel, and Barbara Murray.
