All Critics (5) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (1)

Worthy in intent, but often dull in execution...A priceless vignette by John Mills as an English private eye is the best thing in the picture.

This older B&W version of the recent remake puts less stress on the lust and more on the inner conflict the two lovers are having.
