... a minor noir with Fuller's tabloid sensibility and Sirk's romantic gloss, directed with an economy that makes the most of its modest budget.

Reviews for Shockproof
In his own way, Sirk was as good a director as Fuller; here he emphasizes the complex, intense emotions of the lead characters, which helps guide the film over some of its plot hurdles.
While Shockproof will inspire more groans than gasps, it’s essential viewing for fans of Mr. Fuller and Mr. Sirk.
