I love a good noir - but this isn't one. The plotting and dialogue (especially the voice over going on on in Loretta Young's head) is so poor that at times it is utterly laughable. In fact this film gave me more laughs than the entire Abbott and Costello box set my estranged ex gave me for Xmas. For me this made the film impossible to take seriously, and very difficult to get involved in as a serious thriller or drama. The leads flounder a bit, but Corey and Jaffe stand out and are rather decent. The romance doesn't work, and neither does the ending.though I was glad it came.
