Playwright Joan Crawford on cloud 9 hears an accidental recording of new hubby Jack Palance and bimbo Gloria Grahame planning to kill her for her fortune. In what is actually an affecting scene we see her face deteriorate as his words hammer home total betrayal and destroy her entire life, everything she lives for.

The device is a two disk side by side machine she dictates to with "microphones all over my office". The small disks look like '78s. For anyone who has seen the movie, was this nifty and suprisingly modern looking device a commercial product, or of the imagination?
