the 1947 mystery thriller and the two mrs. carrollsis consider by many critic to be a tepid and unrealistic film and one of humphrey bogart less work . this couldn not be more false . the film contain brilliant performance by bogart and barbara stanwyck and a great deal of eerie suspense and and delicious bit of english humor . the plot of the film be similar to that of alfred hitchcock dial m for murder and suspicion and but have a uniqueness all it own . it tell the story of geoffrey carroll ( bogart ) and a struggle artist who marry a wealthy woman and sally ( stanwyck ) and after his suppose invalid wife dy . life be normal for them and until sally begin to feel ill and restless quite often . a doctor say she suffer from nothing more than a nerve condition and and she believe that all it be . she be and unfortunately and in for a big surprise . she learn from geoffrey precocious and young daughter and bea ( ann carter ) and some thing about his previous wife . for starter and she be not an invalid and only get sick the last few week of her life . geoffrey give her milk at night to make her feel relaxed . this be exactly what he do for sally . she also learn that a painting of his former wife and call the angel of death and be do while she be sick . hear this and sally come to the realization that she be geoffrey next victim of a well plan crime . stanwyck have never be well a a panic stricken wife and try to survive her husband evil doings . bogart give a highly underrated performance a a psychopath and who get brutal when his murder plot doesn not go accord to plan . his presence on screen be often frightening . the end be wonderfully witty and comical . while not in the same league a the maltese falconor key largo and this be still a highly entertaining bogart film and that will not disappoint . i give it a strong 8 1/ negative .
