Barbara Stanwyck brought significant skill to most of her movie roles. In this movie, playing a witness to a murder that can't be proved, the role could be over done with angst but Stanwyck makes it appropriately tense and harrowing. George Sanders played a Nazi in Man Hunt and plays a supposedly ex-Nazi in Witness to Murder. He's one of the best bad guys in moviedom.
It's nice to know that Stanwyck was known as a kind woman and professional on the movie set. In addition to this movie, some of Stanwyck's best and varied roles can be found in Double Indemnity, Ball of Fire and The Strange Love of Martha Ivers.
