Richard D @DURYERIC000 10/05/2024 A noir whose message is don’t drink. It’s well made and the relationship is well done if a bit awkward. The trap that was set didn’t really make sense to exist but whatever. Lot more singing than I was expecting. Dan Duryea does a great job as a budget Humphrey Boggart.

See more nick s @Nick_S 10/16/2023 Well directed film noir, with good pacing and energy. A lot of nice camera work and framing. The story built organically and had a strong finish. The excellent acting was helped along by a captivating script. Actually, hard to fault. See more j F @RT31612624 10/04/2023 Duryea was excellent, sleazy yet compassionate.

It's got a great 40s ambiance, a pleasing and very economic style typical of that era, and good performances from Dan Duryea, June Vincent, Peter Lorre and Broderick Crawford. The film is resolved by a surprising and somewhat annoying deus ex machina, but still comes out as a very satisfying story. To film buffs: I've heard that Duryea and Vincent are doing their own piano playing and singing in this film. Is that right ? It was very nice on both counts.
