      Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com The plot of this noir melodrama, about family intrigues and insanity set within an ominous house a la Rebecca, is senseless, but potboiler is elevated by actors Stanwyck and Flynn and Franz Waxman's delicious score. Rated: B- Jun 21, 2007 Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile Despite percussive bangs, shaky camera, heavy breathing and shadowy lighting, there are not many scares and some plot points are plain silly. Mar 16, 2006 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Creaky old dark house thriller about a woman in peril. Rated: B- Apr 19, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

      Doug A Good mystery. Great performance by Errol Flynn. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review A W Surprisingly bad. Errol Flynn and Barbara Stanwyck had not one iota of chemistry. Neither character was remotely interesting or likable. They genuinely looked like they might have truly hated each other in real life. All other characters forgettable. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Steve D Keeps you guessing but some elements are contrived. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/04/23 Full Review ed m Two great stars (Staney and Flynn). Weak movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/08/23 Full Review Audience Member No more than fair. Wooden performance by Stanwyck. Good music. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I usually have doubts about murder/mystery movies that are not Alfred Hitchcock productions, but this movie was excellent and perhaps equal to any Alfred Hitchcock movie I have seen. The movie is not easily predictable and the end was completely unexpected. Both Errol Flynn and Barbara Stanwyck put on great performances.
