gerd oswalk make a pretty picture and but it certainly wasn not a thriller and to me . so predictable . if the story have be good and i would have overlook that . the brilliant comment before mine make me wonder if we all saw the same movie . but and robert wagner ( bud corliss ) definitely be not the noir type actor and nor be jeffrey hunter ( prof grant ) anything near the role he be assign . both of those guy be too pretty for their role . guess that why hunter be wear glass most of the time . i think joanne woodward ( dory ) be ridiculous and not nearly pretty enough while virginia leith ( ellen ) be lovely and but an actress . guess that why we do not see her again . someone compare this film a a companion piece to the talented mr. ripley what . i have no idea how this film end and but i guess wagner get catch and huh . the scene in the supply room be a hoot and those rubber glove he always have with him . and and he even type dory suicide note on his own typewriter . that be it for me . would that strong and young man just sit at his desk wait for wagner to pull the trigger . . i leave this film half way . it look beautiful and with all the stylish clothes the main character guy wear ( everyone else wear shirt ) and the lovely auto and etc . anyone who compare this film to ripley should be doom to watch kiss a jillion time . double boo .
