When the movie focuses on Lana Turner and John Garfield plotting murder, the film is fun, fine, and thrillingly trashy…

Enjoyable noir that seems to plod a little…

This film is imperfect, but still very well done…

It felt rather rambling, along with false endings…

Atmospheric story of lust, desire and murder…

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

I kept waiting for this to be awesome. It isn't. :(…

OK film noir. Lana Turner way over-acts. Too long. Out of no where Garfield goes to Mexico with a woman he happens to meet…

This movie is every bit the epitome of film noir that such classics as Double Indemnity are…

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…
