Witness For The Prosecution, at least in 1957 movie form, is clever. There is only one point where Marlene Dietrich's character actually lies. At all other points, she tells the truth, albeit in such a way that other characters are misled. When disguised, for example, she states that the wife wrote the incriminating letters — which she did! She tells the barrister that if she were to give a name, in disguise, it would be a false one — as it would!
