This movie begins quite well,and,unlike some people wrote,it's not that much dated.Douglas Dick is as disturbing a student as he is handsome.But his part is too underwritten and he disappears too soon.
What remains is much too predictable: as soon as Bill's guardian appears ,you know what they're up to from mile off;for instance guess with whom,this respectable man,portrayed by Robert Cummings will fall in love with?
In a thriller,the hero(or here the heroine) must be in jeopardy:we know early in the story that the teacher is not risking anything ;maybe if they did not show the scene by the sea? maybe?
We are left with the Cummings/Corey duel :both actors deserved a better script.
Loretta Young plays a very educated professor (she teaches psychology of course) and she 's got to show tricky to frustrate the enemy (that is to say the cops) in his plans.
Aren't there better movies to remember Loretta Young ? "heroes for sale" "a man's castle" "the crusades" "the bishop's wife".....
