The Secret Fury - 1950 - 6/10

During the wedding finale, when the minister asks, “Can anyone give just cause …”
An interloper blurts out, “The bride is already married!”
Investigations soon unearth court documents, a justice of the peace, witnesses, motel employees, not to mention her new groom.
Does she suffer amnesia, or is she insane?
First half is overcooked melodrama, a woman’s weepie, before veering into Noir.
Robert Ryan excellent as the vexed new husband. Colbert fine, if too old as befuddled bride.
Ending puzzles as it explains who and why, but not how.
