He had looks, charm... and killer instincts. Beneath his clean-cut looks... was a cold-blooded killer.
Robert Wagner gambled with his clean-cut image to play the ruthless, conniving killer in this unrelenting thriller co-starring Jeffrey Hunter, Virginia Leith, Joanne Woodward and Mary Astor. Based on the novel by suspense master Ira Levin "Deathtrap," A Kiss Before Dying is riveting, sure-fire entertainment you can't miss.
Wagner is Bud Corliss, a darkly handsome college boy so obsessed with wealth that he'll do anything to get it. When his rich girlfriend Dorothy (Woodward) gets pregnant and is threatened with disinheritance, Bud stages her suicide, sending her plummeting from the roof of a high-rise. It's the perfect crime... until Dorothy's sister Ellen (Leith) begins to unravel Bud's deadly scheme.
