"When Strangers Marry" is a 1944 suspense film directed by William Castle. The film, re-released under the title "Betrayed", was called "the finest B-picture ever made" by film historian Don Miller. [http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v_id=116561]

A naive woman comes to New York City to meet her salesman husband whom she only meet months before, and discovers that he may be a murderer.

Reaction

A 1944 "Variety" magazine review was positive. "Only thing wrong with this film is its misleading title. Tag, "When Strangers Marry", suggests another of the problem plays of newlyweds when in reality pic is a taught psychological thriller about a murderer and a manhunt full of suspense and excitement."

According to Simon Callow's book Hello Americans, Orson Welles said of this movie, "It isn't as slick as "Double Indemnity" or as glossy as "Laura", but it's better acted and better directed . . . than either."
