Being that Robert Mitchum is my favorite actor it is difficult for me to say anything negative about the films he appears in. This isn't a bad film, just a little murky. Mitchum is confident and cocky as ever; Russell is sexy as a nightclub singer on the lamb. Atmosphere is good, characters are o.k. , but I get the feeling this film is trying to be steal some of the elements of "Gilda" and it falls way short.
