Plot
The Al Martin–penned murder drama centers around a gubernatorial candidate falsely accused of killing her former partner as part of a confidence scheme. It turns out that the real culprit has wrangled his way into becoming a jury foreman—who slips up by accidentally delivering an incriminating letter to the judge rather than the guilty verdict.
Production
Filming on The Strange Mrs. Crane began on June 11, 1948, at the Morey-Sutherland Studios.[1] The script was adapted from an episode of The Whistler, a radio program.[2]
