Lady in the Lake
Private eye Phillip Marlowe (Robert Montgomery) wants to get out of the detective racket and into crime writing.

Discovering new love for her husband along the way, Eleanor must get to Frank before the killer does.

The other passengers ominously deny Miss Froy ever existed, so Iris begins to investigate with another traveler (Michael Redgrave) and, as the pair sleuth, romantic sparks fly.
