The Strange Love of Martha Ivers is a film noir starring Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin, Lizabeth Scott and featuring Kirk Douglas in his film debut. Stanwyck is bound to husband Douglas by his knowledge of a crime she committed as a teenager. When an old flame comes back to town, the result is a web of noir melodrama.

While Stanwyck is the unquestioned star of the movie, check out Scott, whose next movie would be one of my favorite noirs, Dead Reckoning with Humphrey Bogart. All that star power is what put this movie at #47 in the Internet Archive Top 100.
