08/19/2012 Visually rich melodrama from the great Andre De Toth See more 12/22/2010 Not as good as it should have been but still an interesting film thanks to having a talent like Richard Widmark in the lead. Both Linda and Veronica are wasted in insubstantial parts. Veronica with her famous hair shorn looks quite matronly. See more Read all reviews
