UPDATE (05 July 2012):
Meanwhile Alexander Rabitsch ↵correctly guessed that wine was spilled, but the movie isn’t ‘Three Strangers’ (Negulesco 1946) as he assumed (but he got damn close). Because of that here’s another screencap—the scene leading up to the spilling of wine:
Blood, maybe? Need more hints …
Oil or fuel?
No, it’s neither oil nor fuel. And it also ain’t blood—although the spilling of the fluid is closely connected to a homicide.
Ink!?!
hydrogen cyanide?
Some kind of acid?
Sorry, but still no—it’s neither ink nor hydrogen cyanide aka prussic acid or any other kind of acid. Your way of thinking is way too twisted ;) Here’s a hint: Someone was lured to a place and this place is connected with the fluid.
Liquor?
Close …
Wine?
Wine it is! Now, what’s the movie? ;)
>>Three strangers<< … just a shot in the dark ….
“Notorious”?
No, sorry, it is not ‘Notorious’ (Hitchcock 1946).
ain´t that peter lorre up on this pic?
No, it’s not Peter Lorre in the picture, but Mr. Lorre is in the movie!
‘The Chase’?
Congratulations—’The Chase’ (Ripley 1946) it is! :)
