I think what I’m rememering a 1950s movie about a murder trial, where the accused is the spoiled rotten daughter of a woman who was played by, or resembled, Shirley Winters. The daughter took the mother for everything she had during the trial, and at the end defiantly put on a wig to prove she was the woman who had been identified by a witness as the murderer. If anyone can make sense of this, I’d love to know.
Sounds like Mildred Pierce, except for wig part. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037913/?ref_=nv_sr_2
That’s what I was thinking, but there’s no trial.
“A Death Of Innocence”(1971 TV Movie) with Shelley Winters as the mother of the
‘rotten daughter’ who is on trial on trial for murder. There is also the scene in the movie where she tries on the wig in the courtroom. Sorry I can’t find a trailer for you to watch.

Thank you SO much! This movie has been on my mind on and off for years, and after I posted the question I immediately forgot what site I posted it it on, so it has taken me some time to make my way back here. Now I’m on a mission from God to figure out how to see the movie again and get it off my head once and for all! 🙂
Thanks sandnc!
