Haas' s by-now-usual middle -age cuckold / blonde femme fatale /handsome rival threesome once more ; Vince Edwards replaces John Agar ("hold back tomorrow" "bait" ) and one does not lose on the exchange for the former has much more screen presence ; besides, unlike in "pickup" or in "strange fascination" , the woman remains passive and it's her lover the evil genius who urges her to do away with the hubby ; she is reluctant ,but he keeps on repeating :"we're together in it"
The screenplay ,although on "the postman always rings twice" pattern, is rather astute ; when Haas reappears behind the graves , it gives to the movie an eerie feeling ; the twin brothers is a good trick ,which increases the widow's guilty feeling ; on the other hand the "circus girl" (a character also "inspired"by James McCain's novel) gets in the way.
It was to be Cleo Moore's last film.
