This film noir was turning out to be a big disappointment but picked up the pace nicely with some interesting twists when Don DeFore's character "Don Blake" entered the story
Meanwhile, Lizabeth Scott ("Jane Palmer") was convincing as the femme fatale and Dan Duryea ("Danny Fuller") was his normal entertaining character complete with some good, wisecracking lines. However, DeFore is the guy who rally snaps this film out of the doldrums.
This is a story of greed and what it can do to people, particularly if they aren't that moral to begin with!
It's nice to see this out on DVD, although, from what I have read elsewhere, I don't believe a decent print of this movie has been made available.
