(M 40) the house on telegraph hill

a polish woman takes another woman's identity in concentration camp. she writes to tell relatives that she is alive, but is informed that her aunt is dead. she gets sent to america and pursues the issue and meets richard basehart who falls in love with her, marries her and takes her home to san francisco, where she meets the housekeeper who is jealous of her. she meets a friend/enemy of richard basehart's and he helps her. she befriends her son and discovers that the playhouse has experienced a bombing (blamed on a chemistry set). she gets into a car accident when the brakes fail. no proof of tampering exists, but she is suspicious. the telegram that she received in the dp camp telling her that her aunt was dead raises questions and the research reveals that richard basehart sent it himself and not the lawyers. but before the woman can find this out, richard basehart tries to poison her, but the woman has switched the orange juice and richard has been poisoned. the housekeeper who loves the child suspects that richard will try to kill the child and so she lets him die from the poisoning. the friend and the woman live happily ever after.
