Viewing Notes
A really well done film noir, with a thrilling opening scene that draws you right into the story. The print on Netflix Instant was surprisingly excellent, with fine grain and contrast.
John Forsythe and Joan Camden do a great job as married couple Jim and Marge Austin. Camden brings an elegant beauty to her role that’s rarely seen in these sorts of films.
