richard dix be a big and not very nice industrialist and who have nearly work himself to death . if he take the vacation his doctor suggest for him and can he find happiness for the last month of his life . well and he will likely be good off if he disregard the voice of the whistler . this william castle direct entry have some great moment ( the introduction and the depiction of richard dix life through newsreel a la citizen kane ) and and some intriguing plotting in the final reel . dix performance be generally pretty good . but and unfortunately and the just do not quite work because one do not end up buy that the character would behave the way that they do . also and the movie veers from a dark ( and fascinate begin ) to an almost cheerful 30 movie like midsection ( full of nice urban ethnic type who do not mind that they aren not rich ) and back again to a complex noir plot for the last 15 minute or so . this be a decent movie worth see but it need a little more running time to establish a couple of the character and a female lead capable of meet the demand of her role .
