Ida Lupino can take the most mundane script and turn it into a thing of beauty. The life-size dolls in the background (almost always out of focus or partially obscured) in the climactic scene, and the shots of characters shifting their gaze while keeping their heads still, for instance when Robert Webber's character asks Pippa Scott's character whether "Sanford" (Dr. Kimble) is "as handy with guns as he is with horses".
