Ann Sheridan may have been past her prime looks wise but she was certainly performing well enough in this 1950 noir. A tremendous, powerful performance, lighting up the screen at every appearance and giving as good as she got with the sharp and witty dialogue. Fast moving movie with a ever developing storyline and culminating in a fantastic roller coaster sequence that must, as others have suggested, influenced Alfred Hitchcock, who would complete, Strangers On A Train, the next year. The sound was a bit ropey on my DVD but this is probably all we have for this little seen gem. Great location shooting in San Francisco is one more ingredient to ensure that this is a very special, if late, example of the genre.
