nick s Well acted and filmed. Unfortunately another memory loss movie which is a well worn trope. Lots of exposition as the characters explained their background and motivations all the way through. Instant mix romance. But it was passable. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review acsdoug D The movie starts out with a good plot, but my interest in the mystery started to wane about halfway through. Tip o' the hat to Nancy Guild: she does what could be the worst fake piano playing in cinematic history. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Andrew S I'm surprised to see a number of negative reviews here of the film. It's a favorite of mine. Though the plot is somewhat conveluted and a bit hard to follow, the very enjoyable performances and very well written, memorably witty dialog captivate me. Almost all of the actors do an excellent job, including Fritz Kortner, Richard Conte, Lloyd Nolan, John Hodiak, Josephine Hutchenson. Nancy Guild is a bit bland, and I can imagine other actresses being more interesting and magnetic in her part, but Guild is appealing in a girl-nextdoor way, and the witty dialog she's given helps. I enjoy the actress playing Phyllis, never seen her in anything else; she's doesn't demonstrate much in the way of acting chops, but she's so icely sexy, and again is given witty lines that make her memorable. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review Jerald G Plenty of loose ends and strange occurrences that make no logical sense. Why would someone write a letter to himself about a bank account for instance? Still, an enjoyable movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review Bill B Slow paced, talky, early noir with Hodiak trying to overcome amnesia. Some very good moments and dialogue, and some hokey moments as well. Richard Conte is effective in his supporting role. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review Daniel S If this movie were a meal, I would say John Hodiak doesn't cut it, there is too much corn, and not enough meat. The acting drags a potentially compelling plot down and it doesn't recover. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
