David K Oct 12 There are better stories/whodunnits out there but the dialogue here, penned by Clifford Odets, is the real star. Paul Lukas and Susan Hayward stand out, delivering the great lines with great skill.

Twenty or so minutes in I bailed because the premise was so ridiculous; could the two leads possibly be that stupid? BTW, I'm a fan of Susan Hayward though it's a real shame she took the embarrassing part in "Valley of the Dolls" at the tail end of her distinguished career.

See more 07/26/2017 Great noir. Luv the dialog. See more s r @ScottR 07/25/2017 I gave it a shot, it was alright. See more 08/08/2015 Okay little noir about Susan Hayward helping naive wide eyed sailor Paul Lukas clear his name when he's suspected of murder. It's a nicely shot little noir and has some good moments of suspense and action, but the the story seemed a bit muddled. Written by respected playwright Clifford Odets during his time slumming it as a Hollywood screenwriter, adapting a Cornell Woolrigh story. This was the lone theatrical film by director Harold Clurman, who was a respected stage director. See more Read all reviews
