The affair starts in such a ridiculously implausable way. both of lana's relationships are implausible beyond absurdity…

A gritty/macho film quite ahead of its time for 1946 & John Garfield was undeniably a presence on screen, Lana Turner knew how to turn heads…

I really enjoyed the twists and turns the journey this well-crafted tale takes…

A sexy post-war Noir starring Lana Turner, this film captures some basic American attitudes: wanderlust, ambition, and romantic, impossible love…

Kinda falls apart here or there but eventually gets back onto the rails. Most of the movie is very good though. Lots of fun…

Gripping tale doubles as allegory about exploited workers and economic revolt…

This is one of the most interesting films noir I've seen, and it brings us a story based on a novel written and that would be adapted to cinema…

Film Noir at it's best. When Lana Turner drops the lipstick for John Garfield to pick up. It is on from there…

Very tense, climatic, and truly nightmarish story about a romance that quickly turned into a chase towards happiness, with the most deadly…

It could have been a better film noir without the many coincidences. Lana Turner is a hot babe…
