Thoroughly enjoyed this piece of superb cinema. I have not heard such sharp tight screen lines as this for a long time. Next to perfect acting for each character, even down to the desk sergeant. Can't speak highly enough of it, and my hope is that the film gets restored in a laboratory to its former Noir glory.

There's an intangible human quality to a lot of these old black and whiters that not all of the machine gun wielding robots, fiery explosions or orgies of CGI can put back on the screen no matter what excesses they go to.

A good movie and a first-rate cast. Did anyone notice that Raymond Burr hardly ever blinks? His vacant, zombie-like stare intensifies his unsavory character.

what's so interesting about this thriller is how it's almost constantly whispered nobody raising their voice in all the high drama. Never seen a film quite like it for a thriller. But leave it to De Toth for an unusual and realistic approach.

WOW! What a blockbuster of a movie! Dick Powell and Lizabeth Scott! A tense thriller that really holds your attention. And what about that pre Perry Mason Raymond Burr?

RIP Lizbeth Scott, one of the unsung Queens of Noir ! I've only noticed now that she died Jan 31st 2015, of course the Belgian media didn't talk about it. She reached a nice age, having been born in 1922. Great actress, strange voice, I loved her appearing together with that other great Noir actor, "oily" Dan Duryea. Before Angela Dickinson came around, nobody could act as greedy as la Scott !

Recently watched this largely forgotten gem of a film noir from 1948. A bored insurance agent, played by Dick Powell, follows a victimized beauty (Lizabeth Scott) down dark alleys. The Let’s-Pretend-It’s-All-Fine suburban values of the 1950s collide with the urban postwar despair of the 1940s. With Jane Wyatt starring as his wife, it’s Father Knows Best Doesn’t Know What He’s Getting Into.
