Decent, if not also a bit slow, film noir crime-drama, features some fine performances by Robert Young and Susan Hayward. Had fun with the numerous amounts of irony including ending. Should also note this is the original 95-minute version, seen on home video for the first time in 20 years (re-issue version was only 80-minutes). **3.5/5**
