Another solid noir from Tourneur, if not quite up to the level of Out of the Past. Memorable villains, particularly the character of "Red," and the snow-filled setting of the finale is a refreshing change from the usual urban smog. A rather gruesome showdown (think Fargo) and a very young Anne Bancroft are just a few other highlights in this gem.

Just another mediocre, ok-ish film noir. Tourneur could do so much better.Limbesdautomne
Anne Bancroft throwing in a handful of dirt upon the old Hollywood.Read a fantasy about it in French on La Saveur des goûts amers.
