I was expecting a lot from this film because it is a Douglas Sirk film but nada. Its a good enough film with a good enough story. Clearly, the opulence and melodrama that drives his later work is not here. Even the dramatic masterclass is not present. Just a by the numbers Film Noir of the period. It just felt too familiar. Just enough zigzag to compel and create mystery but without the weight or suspense that you'd like to see in a big production of the time. Other than that, nothing really worthwhile. Even the performances of Colbert and Ameche is serviceable. Just ok [3/5]
