Enjoyable noir that seems to plod a little…

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

Never read the book, but I got the feeling that the film was a little bit rushed. It felt a little bit flat and lacked a bit of punch…

Mad chemistry brewing between Lana Turner and John Garfield…

It felt rather rambling, along with false endings…

Great film noir…

Less steamy than the remake but that is to be expected for the era it was made…

Lana turner alone makes this movie great. She is amazing with her attitude and beauty. I was amazed at the harmlessness of the innuendos…

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

Lana Turner, and John Garfield fit right into there roles as two people made for each other…
