In one last noir twist, Joan marries for a fourth and final time to a man with a secret life. The last chapter of our story takes us from the Greenwich Village cross-dressing scene of the 1960s, to the set of Dario Argento?s giallo classic, Suspiria (Joan?s last film), to post-reunification Berlin, where Bennett?s legacy as a key face of film noir is solidified. What are the lasting reverberations of the violent act Walter Wanger committed in 1951 -- on Joan Bennett?s family, on film culture, politics and society? What, if anything, would be different today?
