Sally Morton and Geoffrey Carroll, the latter a struggling artist, get married following the passing of Geoffrey's invalid first wife. Despite quickly falling in love with him, Sally never thought she would marry him when she discovered that he was already married - regardless of his vow to get a divorce - the first Mrs. Carroll's passing which changed the situation. The period of the first Mrs. Carroll's illness arguably resulted in Geoffrey's greatest works, including a portrait of her as the Angel of Death. While Sally brings a house in small town Ashton and a rough-around-the-edges housekeeper named Christine, Geoffrey brings a preteen daughter Bea into the marriage, Bea who openly welcomes Sally into the Carroll family. Their happiness begins to change when Cecily Latham commissions Geoffrey to paint her portrait, Cecily and her mother introduced to the Carrolls by London lawyer, Charles Pennington, Sally's former fiancé, who, while still in love with her, is happy that she is happy in her married life. Their meeting was not solely for the purpose of the commission as Cecily had fallen in love with Geoffrey in previously having seen him in town, he who eventually falls in love with her. In his insanity, Geoffrey starts to plot for Sally to befall the same "true" fate of the first Mrs. Carroll in both wanting to be with another woman and setting up a situation for his artistic genius to come to light.

| Seanax.comSean Axmaker... a handsomely mounted and nicely acted piece, especially when the two Hollywood greats share the screen. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussBogart's final seconds onscreen are played for comedy; it's as if the movie itself is winking at us, to apologize for its Gothic-suspense absurdity, but also to get us to admit we enjoyed our time together. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrIt seems to run quite long for as simple of a story it is. Most of the plot is revealed in dialogue, and the suspense isn't as strong as it could be. |
| User ReviewBrienne HDelightfully bizarre! Bogart and Stanwyck at their best! So noir, so good. |
| User ReviewSecret SThis movie has a strange but sadistic spin |
| User ReviewJordan SI found myself at the edge of my seat good flick! |
| User ReviewKim MHumphrey Bogart's over the top performance as an anxiety ridden artist with a compulsion to alter paintings of the women he loves as he poisons them is nearly equalled by Barbara Stanwyck's "Gas Light" type paranoia as she realizes what she's married. Great characters in the supporting cast and laugh out loud one liners break the tension just when you think Bogart may explode like a victim from "Scanners". This may have been intended as a suspense thriller, but it would find more fans in the black comedy section. |
