Arriving at what is Arguably the Very End of the Film-Noir Cycle.
Before Serious Students of the Genre Morphed the Label into "Neo-Noir" (approximately 1962).
Mala Powers, an Actor's Actor and Professional Instructor in the Craft, gives a Dynamic Performance in this Little-Late-Noir.
She Dominates, along with a Taut Touch of Directing and Production.
A Film about a Psychologically Troubled Woman Caught in the Vortex of an Elaborate Personal Spiral.
It's a "Gaslight" Type of Movie where the Audience is kept Guessing whether She is Delusional about what Goes On Around Her.
A Good Movie Despite its Limited Resources and a Well-Traveled Plot.
The Style is Minimalist and Straight-Forward and does Not Bend too Much to Film-Noir and its Tendency to Coat the Proceedings with Surrealism and Affectations.
Mala Gives it Her All in One-More Role in a Long and Prolific Career in Film and TV.
She is Surrounded with Good-Support and an Intriguing Script that Milks the Suspense and Twists in an Entertaining B-Movie Format.
Definitely Worth a Watch.
