...human being than Roosevelt, whose magnificently confident facade concealed a character capable of immense deceit, chilling detachment and cunning superficiality. Roosevelt and Churchill had become fast friends in the early days of the war, when Churchill stayed in the White House for weeks at a time. Churchill said, "No lover ever studied the whims of his mistress as I did those of President Roosevelt." Roosevelt, on the other hand, told Labor Secretary Frances Perkins, "I'm nearly dead. I have to talk to the PM all night, and he gets bright ideas in the middle of the night and comes...
...couple of differences: the ?Black Angel? loser is a lover of the murder victim, and the woman avenger, Catherine (blond, charisma-challenged June Vincent), is his betrayed wife. When her schlub of a two-timing spouse is sent to jail for the murder of showgirl-vocalist Mavis Marlowe (Constance Dowling), Catherine tracks down Mavis? ex, a part-time songwriter, full-time drunk named Martin Blair (Dan Duryea). ?I had to see you,? she implores, and he snaps, ?Why?

...Another example: ?Waltz into Darkness.? Like ?I Married a Dead Man,? it has a wife who appears out of nowhere, lies about her identity, wins the love of a decent man, and withdraws thousands from a new bank account to pay off a slime-ball who was once her lover. The difference is that Julia, in ?Waltz,? is a killer bitch with a larcenous agenda and an ex-beau even creepier than Helen?s Steve. [SPOILER] This guy, Billy, has killed the real Julie, who was a mail-order bride on her way to rich, nice-guy Louis. His pretty...
...wedding day of our orphan heroine Madhavi (Asha Parekh), known as Madhu; she is to marry a man she?s not seen. Receiving a plaintive note from her low-life lover Kailash (Prem Chopra), she flees the ceremony (?I threw all social norms to the wind... burning my boats?) and rushes to his arms. They happen to be wrapped around his real amour, tarty singer Shabu (Bindu). Flummoxed and furious, she flees back to her rich uncle to beg forgiveness, only to notice that he?s dead, probably of heartbreak. She flees yet again, to the train station. There...
