The 'romance' is definitely the weak point of this movie, it's the only element that doesn't really work at all. Apart from that however this is a very, very good late noir, with a fascinating premise and great use of Cold War paranoia that set it apart from many other similar movies. 10 years ago -

Pickup On South Street and Shock Corridor are the best Fuller films, I think.
This is an almost perfect noir, admirably and artfully made and very entertaining. 10 years 2 months ago -
