Wife Wanted (DVD), Warner Archives, Mystery & Suspense

For her final film appearance, Kay Francis goes out with a bang - and how! - in this femme noir sensation. Fading film queen Carole Raymond (Francis) thinks she's going to feather her nest egg with a real-estate exit plan, only to find herself behind the eight ball in a classified lonely hearts crime ring. Set up as the fall gal for a snuffed-out Romeo, Carole is up to her white furs in illegitimate matrimony until a muckraker (Robert Shayne) gets a sniff of the seductive shenanigans. But the question remains - will the reporter be Carole's salvation or her damnation? Kay Francis produced with no-nonsense noir head honcho Phil Karlson directing and costarring Paul Cavanagh, Veda Ann Borg, Teala Loring and Jonathan Hale.
