When I read the description of this film I had no idea Robert Young, AKA FATHER KNOWS BEST had even played bad guys, and needless to say I was not disappointed! He was magnificent and Susan Hayward just lit up the screen!!! I just love it when she plays those tough broad roles, I wish they would release the movie I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE on dvd! They Won't believe Me is a hidden gem you will not want to miss!!!
Viewer Reviews It's not easy to construct a review for "They Won't Believe Me". The main reason is the startling number of twist and turns in the plot. That good guy, Robert Young, is the central character and entwines himself with no fewer than 3 women in just 95 minutes of run time. Only one is his spouse! That 2 of these ladies meet their demise is the crux of TWBM. In the opening scene, RY is on trial for the murder of one. Viewers will know of his culpability but the jurors don't! TWBM proceeds to backtrack via flashback in classic noir fashion. RY is fine but the 3 ladies-wife Rita Johnson and girl friends Jane Greer and Susan Hayward carry the movie. Hayward is best as she shifts from icy babe to nice girl. Viewers should watch for one big double cross late in the movie. This review will conclude here so as not to divulge the resolution. TWBM is yet another classic RKO 1940s noir in beautiful black and white. 56 characters fly by in those 95 minutes. How did noir do that? Viewers may enjoy TWBM more if they can reach a decision concerning Mr. Young: Is he just another unfaithful husband or a good guy trapped in a boring marriage and a dead end career? This reviewer was reminded of Dick Powell in "Pitfall". Oh yes--that jury does reach a verdict!
