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

Enjoyable noir that seems to plod a little…

Atmospheric story of lust, desire and murder--Superior film noir…

Its like watching a lesser Hitchcock film…

I went into this one thinking that I had seen this one before but soon realized that I must've been thinking about the '80s re-make, or just…

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…

Not sure if this was better than the later version…

Lana Turner in her golden age, the most beautiful woman in the world…

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