Conflict is a love triangle with murder at its heart, an atmospheric film noir of rainy nights, looming shadows, fatal romance and a trench-coated killer that walks out of the mist—all directed by Curtis Bernhardt, a filmmaker skilled in the Expressionistic style of his native Germany.
The story embraces the perfect noir topic: the almost-perfect crime.
Humphrey Bogart portrays Richard Mason, married to nagging Katherine (Rose Hobart)…but in love with her sunny sister (Alexis Smith). Shortly after a fifth-year wedding celebration at the home of a friend (Sydney Greenstreet), Richard decides to remove the obstacle to his happiness. He kills Katherine, carefully leaving no evidence of his guilt. Or at least he thinks he killed her—until mysterious events cause Richard to fear Katherine is very much alive.
