Very tense. Good movie.

just saw it too. Pretty good! Only weak point was the strong boxes; but tense all the way through.


Hard to call what we've been through fun, but I'm sure glad we went through it together. RIP, Harry

yes just watched it, its very good. with the narration, its probably as close as you are likely to get to 'double indemnity'

Andrew Stone directed, closest America ever got to a neo-realism director. I love watching Stone's work for this reason. The Last Voyage, Cry Terror etc.

Can someone PLEASE tell me how it ended. I had to leave for a flight. I saw up to when Cotten's wife left him in New Orleans.
Thanks

OK - He returned the money before anyone knew it was missing and lived happily ever after.

Thanks! I couldn't take watching this guy endure all the same sort of nonsense I have to put with!

The lesson is 1. Don't steal! 2. If you must steal, get all your ducks in a row first!

Thanks

Wow what a great film and you never really know how it is going to end.

Unfortunately not available on netflix because i wanted to rent it for my wife to see since she was at work.

This is first rate stuff of the same level as Hitchcock. Very intense.

I just saw it. I also thought it was good and very tense. I enjoyed it.

An old movie I actually hadn't seen! And it was a good one, too! Joseph Cotten has always been one of my favorite actors. Loved Theresa Wright's hair in this movie. She looked great as a blonde.

I agree; this is an excellent movie from start to finish! It's well worth watching. I was feeling so tense at times I wasn't sure if I wanted him to succeed or not. That's what's crazy. I didn't agree with him at all but I just wanted to see what would happen next. The fact he got that far was very surprising.
