Richard G. R @RT42990905 05/03/2024 Decent little noir, with good performances by Joseph Cotten and Jean Peters. See more Ted B @Movieaddicted 06/25/2023 3 stars; This 70 year old movie aged well.. Sure, it's not high intense suspense of today's top thrillers. But it carries a line of mystery and suspense all the way to the end. Joseph cotton and Jean Peters bring a chemistry that is unique to Mystery Thriller movies, such as this one and "Niagara". See more Stu B @RT12689018 06/21/2023 A did-she-or-didn't-she puzzler with a distinct Hitchcockian vibe; it's easy to see how the master himself could have directed this one, possibly for his old '50s-'60s TV show. Joseph Cotten stars as the deeply conflicted Whitney Cameron, who begins to suspect that his widowed sister-in-law--to whom he's attracted--poisoned to death her husband (his brother), has done the same to her young daughter, and is about to have a third go at it by giving an unhealthy dose of strychnine to her little boy...all in an effort to cash in on her late husband's estate. The performances are fine, and--with the facts in doubt till the very last moment--the suspense never lets up. Directed by Andrew L. Stone. See it. See more 06/05/2019 Good story, but preposterous ending (spoiler alert - no jury would convict based on the word of someone who said they put a pill in her drink!) See more 05/18/2019 Very good! A cliffhanger right up to the last few minutes. Oh, sure, many cliches... orphaned kid, unbelieving friends, 1950's family stuff... but I didn't get it. I even thought the hero was the perp at one point! A must watch on the noir scene. See more Steve S @RT32687682 11/18/2016 Not a great film, but a fast moving and entertaining one. Joseph Cotten gives his usual nuanced performance and Jean Peters steals the show as a women suspected of murdering a child. No suprises here, but still intriguing. See more Read all reviews
