A Woman's Devotion is a 1956 American film noir directed by Paul Henreid and starring Ralph Meeker, Janice Rule, Henreid and Rosenda Monteros.[1] It was produced and distributed by Republic Pictures.
Artist Trevor Stevenson (Meeker), an emotionally scarred World War II veteran, is on honeymoon in Acapulco with his bride Stella (Rule). Shortly after their arrival, two women are murdered. The audience is presented with clues pointing to Trevor's guilt or innocence depending upon one's point of view.
The film was originally known as Acapulco. Henreid says he got Franz Waxman to score the picture but Herbert Yates of Republic overruled him.[2]
Henreid later claimed the film was "absolutely ruined" by the studio. "It was a decent film, not a great film by any means... apparently they didn't understand the film at all and they cut essential parts."[3]
