i have just catch this movie on tcm and and can understand why george murphy go into politics if this be the best mgm could serve up to him . it be so slow moving that the attempt to make it a real film noir effort do not come off . it feature two of my favouriteplayers in eve arden ( completely waste ) and dean stockwell ( the best actor in the film ) and but what really hit me be that the lead lady france gifford go through some 90 minute ( it seem longer . ) without change the expression on her face her fainting scene be comical . john hodiak play his role ok and but the script let him and and the rest of the cast and down very badly . i give it 4 star mainly because of the photography . it would have be on the first half of the program when double feature be the go .
