Walk Softly, Stranger (1950)

A charming, smooth-talking gambler calling himself Chris Hale arrives in Ashton, home of the Corelli shoe factory. Claiming to have lived there as a boy, he soon ingratiates himself with the townspeople... including attractive heiress Elaine Corelli, wheelchair-bound since a ski jumping accident a some years back. Chris, hoping to leave crime behind, seems to have excellent prospects; but of course, his past catches up with him.
