Top Critica load of atmosphere and malarkey in search of a coherent storyline
03/18/09
An exciting film noir entry, steaming up the screen with sultry, sexy Russell and a somnambulistic Mitchum who manage to clinch often, despite their sneering disregard for each other.

Top CriticSternberg's personality survives; what's missing is the soul that might have turned the artifice and self-parody into poetry.

...a slow-paced, thoroughly dull piece of work...

What is so enjoyable, apart from Harry Wild's shimmering camerawork, is the tongue-in-cheek tone of the script and performances, best evidenced in the sparkling banter and innuendo between Mitchum and Russell.
