Good, but not great


I liked the look of the film and the music is good too. The actors do a fine job. I didn't find the story as exciting or as compelling as it could have been though. For me, this was a good movie, but not one of the best film noir films. It is still worth watching though. My rating is a 7/10.

Pretty much agree, the best thing is the music, decent enough film with good perfomances all round, especially Ida Lupino.

Starts absolutely fantastically! Then, goes limp the second Robert Ryan goes to the mountain town.

Really too bad! That opening was so perfect!

Killer Bernard Herrmann score.

The premise of the first half is great but then the second part is meh.
