Melodrama com aura noir cuja artificialidade se tornou evidente � medida que o filme envelheceu. De todo modo, Sheridan est� linda e Smith cria um personagem tr�gico e maldito que ainda desperta nosso interesse.

the film synopsis leads one to believe that nora prentiss ruins the life of a respected doctor but as gorgeous as ann sheridan is, she's much too sweet for a femme fatale. this is considered a 'woman's noir' but the story is really that of dr. richard talbot, consumed by guilt and increasingly paranoid. it's hard for

Ann is very sensual and glam here, this was one of her biggest hits, the story is nothing you haven't seen before but she makes it worth your while.
