Jane Greer is in this film, but as the mother of Rachel Ward who plays the part Greer had in the original. Ward in this one is just a spoiled young woman who runs off with bookie James Woods to upset mom and then runs off with him.

A nurse (Jane Greer) suspects that something is amiss when her patient, a woman on the verge of recovery, suddenly dies. Nonetheless, the nurse marries the woman's widower, Gilbert Hughes (Jane Greer). Later on, she relates her suspicions to lawyer Paul Brett (Robert Webber), who informs her that no matter what she thinks about her husband, she cannot testify against him in court. Ultimately Hughes commits suicide and the nurse ends up marrying Brett -- then makes a startling confession. This episode was originally telecast under the title "A True Account." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Greer's career in films slacked off during the 1960s as she devoted herself to raising a family. Her position as a former leading light of film noir led to later appearances in such neo-noirs as The Outfit (1973), Against All Odds (1984, a remake of Out of the Past with Greer as the mother of her original character) and David Lynch's TV drama Twin Peaks. Her final film was Perfect Mate (1996). Her son Lawrence Lasker has coproduced several films, including WarGames (1983) and Sneakers (1992).
