The Depraved is a 1957 British crime film.[1][2]
Plot
Laura is married to drunken, abusive Tom, and begins an affair with U.S. army officer, Dave. She persuades the Captain to help her murder her husband, contriving his death to look like the result of his drunk driving. However, a nosy policeman, Inspector Flynn, becomes suspicious, and soon the lovers' crafty scheme becomes their own nightmare.
