All the Lloyd Nolan Michael Shaynes are worth viewingand this one rates as close to the best! Breezy, nonchalantly aggressive and off-handedly slick Nolan is not only handed a really spooky mystery but is required to impersonate the heroine's husband as well. This aspect leads into some risible, if innocent fun which the players, the actors and the screenwriter all manage to blend with plenty of flesh-creeping thrills and fascinating intrigue. Olin Howland's equally enjoyable comic turns are also integrated into the action with considerable flair and know-how.
Marjorie Weaver, although none too enticingly costumed, makes a winning, convincing, vivacious heroine. Blonde siren, Helene Reynolds, also makes quite an impression, although her role was sufficiently strong to dispense with some last act padding. By "B" levels, production values come across as surprisingly lavish, with lots of action and changes of scene, plus a cavernous main set. Leeds' stylish direction also proves quite an eye-opener, though he was helped along by Joe MacDonald's attractively atmospheric camera-work.
