After watching this I just have a couple of questions: Was Grant playing a clown or a shady character? Were women so submissive and easy to manipulate back in the 1940s?
This movie is a mess, and the worst part is Grant's acting here. He just seems out of place, like if he were in one of those silly "screwball" comedies with Hepburn or something. Sorry, but the Hollywood stereotype of the charming playboy is of no use in a thriller. Plus, there was almost no chemistry between him and "Monkey Face" (his words, not mine).
The film is mildly watchable because the narrative is smooth and there's just a tiny bit of suspense towards the end, but overall dissapointing. Visually, the movie is nothing special either. (4/10)
