Detailed item info
Movie description
It's nighttime in Malaysia. A full moon is shining. The camera glides along, from left to right, along the exterior of a plantation, past sleeping workers. In the background there is a white house. Suddenly a shot breaks the silence. A bird takes flight. Startled, a dog twists around. A man stumbles onto the veranda, followed by a woman. She holds a gun and keeps firing till she has no more bullets and the body is still. She shuts herself in her room and sends for her husband and the authorities. Why has Leslie Crosbie shot Geoffrey Hammond?

THE LETTER premiered at the Strand in New York on November 22, 1940.

Herbert Marshall, who played Robert Crosbie for Wyler in THE LETTER, also appeared in the first film version of Somerset Maugham's play. In the 1929 version, which features a remarkable performance by Jeanne Eagles as Leslie and which was directed by Jean de Limur, Marshall had the short-lived role of Geoffrey Hammond.

Before THE LETTER, James Stephenson was a little-known English actor who had played mostly minor parts in minor movies. After his fine performance as Howard Joyce, much was expected of him--and he was oustanding in Irving Rapper's SHINING VICTORY--but unfortunately he died of a heart attack in the summer of 1941.

The stort was remade in 1947 as THE UNFAITHFUL with Ann Sheridan and Lew Ayres. In 1982 the story was loosely adapted for a British TV movie, EAST OF ELEPHANT ROCK, starring Lee Remick and Ronald Pickup.

The original ending had to be changed to comply with Hollywood's censorship regulations, which stipulated that a murder could not go unpunished. The character of the mistress was also changed to the wife.

Sen Yung, who in THE LETTER plays Ong Chi Seng, Howard Joyce's assistant, was often credited as Victor Sen Yung.

"With all my heart, I still love the man I killed!"--Leslie Crosbie (Bette Davis) to her husband, Robert Crosbie (Herbert Marshall)
