One dumb movie. Dassin would go on to do better romantic rogue pics ("Riffifi" "Topkapi") while, of course, Ball would just go on to do better. Hodiak, alas, was not as fortunate as his fellow HUAC-er Dassin and would pretty much fall by the anti communist wayside, the same road where Lucy's career flourished. And speaking of all things HUAC I wonder if there was lively conflict on the set of this dull film between lefties Hodiak/Dassin and future Reaganite Ms. Ball?
