In this fine traditional noir melodrama you have to decide in the end if the beautiful Arlene Dahl is an arsonist. I had no problem with that.

Watched this one on the Talking Pics channel. Really enjoyable film. Full of twists and turns aplenty. Well written and excellent acting. You can't go wrong with Jack Hawkins. Another solid and believable performance. Good supporting cast and no need for a carpenter as the acting is not wooden in the slightest.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
