Witness for the Prosecution
Dir. Billy Wilder (1957, IMDb #64)
No beige folks were harmed/hired during the making of this film.

The following trivia is really in no shape or form connected to beigeness, but if you’ve ever groaned at a twist ending, or had to plug your ears upon hearing the words ‘spoiler alert’ then you have Witness for the Prosecution (1957) to blame/thank.
When the credits roll, an announcer’s voice is even heard begging filmgoers not to reveal the big twist.
Ha! As if The Beige Index crew care about what you think, begging announcer! Oh it was totally the lady, or the man, or the other lady who’s responsible. Oh we picked it right from the beginning. We knew.
