Curtain of Fear (1962)
“In spite of that Nicholas lowered his arms and cried in ringing protest, “This is monstrous! Your order is a violation of all human decency.”

“Good God, does that need an answer! Any man would do his utmost to prevent a woman being treated as you are treating her.”
“Prevent it, then, by a full confession.”MoreLess
