Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia14 years earlier, Claudette Colbert starred in the movie Imitation of Life (1934), with prominent scenes on a balcony with nearly the same view onto the Queensboro bridge. "Imitation of Life" was later remade into the more famous 1959 version by the director of "Sleep, My Love", Douglas Sirk.
- GoofsWhen Alison is ready to fly back from Boston, the plane on the runway is a United Airlines flight. But when the plane begins to taxi, it now has an Eastern Airlines logo.
- Alternate versionsThere is an Italian edition of this film on DVD, distributed by DNA Srl: "RITROVARSI A PALM BEACH (1942) + DONNE E VELENI (1948)" (2 Films on a single DVD), re-edited with the contribution of film historian Riccardo Cusin. This version is also available for streaming on some platforms.

Fun Film Noir
A man plots his wife's demise while his lover waits impatiently. It treads familiar territory, with the story a variation of "Gaslight." However, it's a lot of fun, thanks to a good cast, a fast pace, and an engaging script. Colbert and Ameche collaborate for the third time ("Midnight" being the best) while Cummings plays a character similar to the one he later played in "Dial M for Murder." The tension is nicely balanced with touches of humor, with Johnson providing most of the comic relief. Before he became known for directing a series of melodramas in the 1950s, Sirk dabbled in some film noir, and this is his best, a big improvement over the previous year's "Lured."
