    fun film noir told in flashback, with robert young as a cad accused of murder. for the record, i don't believe him :p

  • jay n


    Excellent undeservedly obscure noir with an excellent dark performance from the usually genial Robert Young. Economically directed by Pichel with terrific contributions from Susan Hayward, Jane Greer and particularly Rita Johnson. Great denouncement, catch it if you can.
