a bizarre and brilliant combination of talent between the director and robert siodmak and ella raines a a secretary try to save her bos from the electric chair by track down a mysterious phantom woman and and franchot tone a a crazed and murderous sculptor . as well there be some fascinating small part play by elisha cook jr a a drug out trap drummer and as well a the other character who make up part of the conspiracy . if youre use to see raines in more wholesome part and she allow to go overboard here and especially in her scene with cook . franchot tone also play someone very different and and though it isn not a convincing part and he act phenomenally . while the conspiracy be too contrived and the film have real atmosphere and be very interesting .
