    Worth it for a creepy Peter Lorre and a drunken Dan Duryea. And when they explain who the killer is you'll laugh your ass off. At least I did.

    An obscure and not very well known B-Noir film. Except for a small Peter Lorre role the cast is not as illustrous as in many other noirs from the forties. Yet, the movie is very watchable and a classic with an odd but good twist coming at you in the end. Also, occasionally the mo...( read more)vie would loose its grittyness and typical cinematography, by introducing a bit too mainstream love interest and some cheesy (not noir) songs. So, except for the unglamourous cast and the lacklustre direction, the movie is a solid noir.
  • October 18, 2009
    Slick noir with good performances from Duryea and Lorre. The ending feels a bit rushed but otherwise its a compact little thriller.
  • November 17, 2006
    Absolutely vintage noir. Relentlessly entertaining and directed to a "t", this is one outstanding cult classic.

    Peter Lorre is in it so it has some appeal.
