        Well-crafted story with a BS finale. A shame. Nonetheless, any film with Susan Hayward and Jane Greer is worth the disappointment.

        Excellent undeservedly obscure noir with an excellent dark performance from the usually genial Robert Young. Economically directed by Pichel with terrific contributions from Susan Hayward, Jane Greer and particularly Rita Johnson. Great denouncement, catch it if you can.
