| User ReviewMike SFans of B-noir will get a kick out of this one |
| User ReviewJoel KFine John Farrow directed film noir, with Robert Mitchum delivering his usual cool performance. I'd consider this one something of a minor noir classic. |
| User ReviewChristopher SExceptional RKO noir with Howard Hughes protege Faith Domergue as a loony, sexy Femme Fatale who ropes good doc Robert Mitchum into a love affair that goes from bad to worse while on the run from the cops. Nicholas Musuraca's black and white cinematography, as usual, is spellbinding. |
| User ReviewBlake PHow does Claude Rains always get beautiful young women as his on screen wife? Although the wife always ends up unhappy... (see 'Notorious' and 'Passionate Friends') But he gets killed quickly... and Robert Mitchum is on the run with the widow, as they are the 'accidental' murderers. Great noir here, very underrated. I guess it doesn't live up to the classics as the story is pretty short and thin even at average noir lengths. |
| User ReviewBruce BA awesome film Noir with Robert Mitchum who plays a doctor who has fallen in love with a Dangerous women, who murders her husband. After the murder they head to Mexico trying to cover there tracks, 4 stars |
| User ReviewMartin TBordertown intrigue, Claude Rains beating Mitchum with a fireplace poker - fun for the whole family! |
| User ReviewRichard DMitch Caught In The Tentacals Of A Dangerous Female--Entertaining but trite!! |
| User ReviewArt SRobert Mitchum gets himself into trouble by falling for a suicidal femme fatale who is brought into the hospital where he works as a doctor. He really falls hard, ditching his steady nurse girlfriend and spending all of his time with the mysterious and very wealthy young Margo (played by Faith Domergue in her debut picture). Soon, Mitchum is in a direct confrontation with her father (Claude Rains, in a brief but showy turn) that leaves him on the run to Mexico with Margo by his side. They get waylaid in a few hick towns and nearly caught by the police (or were they?) until, in the end, fate catches up with them (as you knew it would). Straightforward noir with no real frills but Mitchum is always great to watch, with his devil-may-care attitude and constant nonchalance - even here where he spends half of the movie concussed. Director John Farrow (Mia's dad) directed a few noirs (The Big Clock and Night has a Thousand Eyes, 1948) but was more of an all-rounder. Worth a look for aficionados. |
| User ReviewDaniel KA couple of interesting things happened towards the end but otherwise it was really typical. |
| User ReviewDave JQuite misleading promotional poster as veteran actor Claude Rains part is only a minor one at best no more than 10 minutes at least, yet he still receives third credit after Mitchum and Domergue. Robert Mitchum plays doctor Jeff Cameron falling heavy for suicidal patient, Margo (Faith Domergue). Viewers know more about her as movie progresses. |
