This is a must for film noir fans, and it deserves to be better known. If it had more of an A-list cast, it would probably be considered a classic.
At the very beginning it resembles Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt." Zachary Scott plays a secretive writer on the run from the law, though for a while it's not clear whether he's really a criminal. Under an assumed name, he charms his way into a household of women.
From then on, the plot is original -- consistently clever but never confusing. Male treachery and female jealousy play their parts, and just when one character's motives become clear, you have to start wondering what another character is up to. If you guess how it all turns out, you're a psychic.
There is one little detail that's handled sloppily, but it comes early and is excusable. All in all, this is what a mystery should be.
