Les Baxter, not Lex Barker, wrote the score. As for the film, it is an interesting little exercise in noir. Filmed in beautiful black and white, the setting is better than the acting. The acting is all over the place. Bancroft's character is noticeably nuts from the very beginning, so the ending is not much of a surprise. While Bancroft would later prove to be a good actress, she is pretty bland here. Barker is adequate at best. Nice to see Marie Windsor get to play something different from her usual femme fatale roles.
