They Won't Believe Me

Watch They Won't Believe Me (1947) online on iFILM — a film noir directed by Irving Pichel, with Robert Young, Susan Hayward, and Jane Greer. Stockbroker Larry Ballentine is on trial for murder. From the witness stand he walks the jury through the chain of women and bad decisions that led here — a story that sounds almost too convenient.

His wealthy wife kept rescuing him from debts and affairs, but Larry kept finding new ones: first Corinne (Susan Hayward), then quieter, steadier Jane (Jane Greer). Robert Young cast against type — playing a weak, self-serving man rather than the dependable lead audiences expected — gives the film its uneasy edge. Whether Larry is actually innocent barely matters; what matters is that he is exactly the kind of man nobody believes. Stream They Won't Believe Me (1947) on iFILM.
