A gruesome murder leads it down a procedural police investigation path and takes the starch out of it.

Somewhat obvious who dun it, enjoyable none the less. Very lushly produced in technicolor with performances all over the board from Raft's typical somnibulant performance to Ginger's over ripe one, she is however ultra glamourous here. Gene Tierney is wasted.
