A Woman's Devotion (reissued as Battle Shock) is a 1956 American Trucolor film noir crime film directed by Paul Henreid starring Ralph Meeker, Janice Rule and Paul Henreid.[1]

Henreid later claimed the film was "absolutely ruined" by the studio. "It was a decent film, not a great film by any means... apparently they didn't understand the film at all and they cut essential parts."[2]

Plot

Artist Trevor Stevenson (Meeker), an emotionally scarred World War II veteran, is on honeymoon in Acapulco with his bride Stella (Rule). Shortly after their arrival, two women are murdered. The audience is presented with clues pointing to Trevor's guilt or innocence depending upon one's point of view.
