Apr 29, 2009Solid suspenser with good performances from the two female leads and excellent cinematography.
-
Jan 24, 2009Nice Robert Wise film noir. Combines WWII holocaust backstory with a thrilling 'who-dunnit' mystery. Valentina Cortese is wonderful as the young Polish girl who survives a German death camp only to face more peril in the hills of San Francisco.
