This overlooked film noir is deliciously delirious.

This is a better than average movie. It gives Barbara Stanwyck a chance to display her talents, which she does to good advantage.

Rated: 2/4

Leisen's direction is never artful enough to give plausibility to the adventures that overtake Miss Stanwyck.

Most of the strength of the movie rests on Stanwyck -- one of the greatest of all screen actresses -- and her ability to sell this story.

Not a bad noir. I'm usually not a fan of Barbara Stanwyck - I think she overacts - but I admit she does a very good job here.

Barbara makes the most of a contrived script.

My own personal favorite film about mistaken identity. This movie has it all, from romance, mystery, drama and murder with a twist. Barbara Stanwyck truly shines as the leading lady in this spectacular story. Aside from the gorgeous background of a Victorian mansion this is Noir at its finest. Every scene is perfectly blended with the mood as the plot thickens. The Protagonists are wonderful people anyone can respect or even identify with. While the Villain Steve Morley (Lyle Bettger )creates tensions with his greed driven Narcissistic personality to the fullest. Every moment throughout this diverse and intense dynamic between each character is true perfection!
