Top Critica load of atmosphere and malarkey in search of a coherent storyline

An exciting film noir entry, steaming up the screen with sultry, sexy Russell and a somnambulistic Mitchum who manage to clinch often, despite their sneering disregard for each other.

Top CriticSternberg's personality survives; what's missing is the soul that might have turned the artifice and self-parody into poetry.

Top Critic...a slow-paced, thoroughly dull piece of work...

What is so enjoyable, apart from Harry Wild's shimmering camerawork, is the tongue-in-cheek tone of the script and performances, best evidenced in the sparkling banter and innuendo between Mitchum and Russell.

All the other ingredients, including Miss Russell's famed physique, are pretty much the same as have been tumbled into previous cheesecakes with Jane and Bob.
