Over My Dead Body is a 1942 American film directed by Malcolm St. Clair starring Milton Berle, Mary Beth Hughes and Reginald Denny. [1] [2]
Jason Cordry (Milton Berle) is a mystery writer whose plots are so convoluted that even he cannot comprehend them, and they are often left uncompleted.
His sympathetic wife, Patricia (Mary Beth Hughes), thinks she has discovered a winning story when she overhears three men discussing plans for a criminal endeavor. Jason, willing to take a risk for a good plot, decides to confess to a murder he did not commit. He incorrectly assumes that he can easily prove his innocence once he has extracted a story from the experience. He is almost convicted of the homicide, but at the last moment he is exonerated. [3]
