    • Trivia
      The final of three film collaborations between director Peter Godfrey and Barbara Stanwyck; the other two films they worked on together were Christmas in Connecticut (1945) and The Two Mrs. Carrolls (1947). The pair developed a strong, lasting friendship while working on these films.
    • Goofs
      Sandra (Barbara Stanwyck) sets her alarm clock for 3 AM. When the clock downstairs starts to chime at 3 AM, Sandra is fully dressed and comes downstairs fully dressed while the clock is still chiming. No time to wake up and dress in that time, although she could have woken up before the alarm clock went off, and gotten dressed.
    • Quotes

      Mark Caldwell: You know, if I was to bring this battle of the wits down to direct insults, I'd say you were one of the most cold-blooded, scheming women I've ever met in my life!

      Sandra Marshall: You've already said that.

    Solid suspense in black and white and with Barbara Stanwyck!
    Recently viewed this on TCM and was captivated. What was going to happen? Why was Barbara Stanwyck sneaking about? Where was her husband? What had happened??

    Errol Flynn also stars, and he was good. Don't usually see him in many suspense films that I remember.

    Barbara S. was amazing as usual. Believable - and wouldn't want to mess with her - but she's met her match with Flynn.

    I thought a very good plot from which I have seen picked up in several other more recent movies. A solid "8" from this reviewer. I think you'll be entertained.
