Really great flick. The Real Deal Old School Fashion Film Noir. Vincent Price-the perfect villain. Contains all the good stuff, love, betrayal, torment, deceit, and most of all the promise of hope. Thank-you for this movie!

Fonda is the perennial stooge for the Dalton Trumbo Ashkenazim script writers. Hollywood Jewery loved him and the rest of his sell out family. I would have much more enjoyed a portrayal of Ezra Pound and his imprisonment ordeal by FDR in a D.C. mental hospital, simply because of his political beliefs. Barbara Bel Geddes was very convincing in her role. The police were far too lenient. This was a psychotic with a gun and had no reservations using it.
