One of the top film noir! A-list actors.
★★★★ · Great Movie · Vera K White · 2023-02-12
In my opinion, Elsa Lanchester (wife of Charles Laughton) stole the show!
★★★ · Oddest Noir Ever · avvocato48 · 2024-07-13
This movie was the most unusual noir I've ever seen. I appreciate the writers and producers pushing the limits. A good watch but just so strange.
