Review

good, but not amazing, noir from henry hathaway. it’s notable for its realistic use of technology and onsite shooting. stewart echoes the audience well and brings us along from skeptics to believers. lee j. cobb is solid as his boss. richard conte is great as the “wrong man” and really sells the ending which might be cheesy if not for his winning our affections earlier in the film.
