WHY IN THE WORLD.........



.........would she pick that dumb a$$ of a lover, over her super smart,
and handsome, debonair, very successful husband?!

Her lover was not even close to being as handsome or appealing as her
husband, and his stupid a$$ wasn't even smart or astute enough to remember
to get the car keys before he pushed the husband's body down the hill!

his brain was tiny but maybe other parts of his male anatomy compensated for that?

A story as old as the hills. The husband came off as an old but rich fuddy duddy. Look at his fellow executives at the plant The wife who was bored with him, craved excitement and didn't mind spending her husband's money on a roughneck with no money of his own.

She needed someone stupid enough to murder her husband for his money. If it worked, she would probably have left or even killed that guy.

One other stupid plot hole: I guess nobody checked the dental records of they guy in the crash to see it wasn't Walter.

That’s my assessment as well. Irene was in it for the money. You could see how pained she was at her lawyer’s demand for 1/3 of her inheritance as his fee for defending her.

This was a fine film noir, but not checking the dental records is a huge plot hole or contrivance. It's been a practice for forensic identification since the Romans.
