... the strangest of genre mixes, a costume crime thriller with a continental setting and an American pulp sensibility.

It's a French Revolutionary drama made like one of Mann's film noirs.

Noir visits the French Revolution, as the emphasis on vicious brutality suggests an account written by the Marquis de Sade.

a really odd genre mix from director anthony mann; it's a film noir set during the french revolution! the lead actor is weak imo but it's a decent thriller and worth watching for john alton's stunning b&w photography alone
