Review

good noir with a great femme fatale. all femme fatales are measured against stanwyck in double indemnity and marie windsor in the killing. audrey totter isn’t quite as good here, but she does a great job nonetheless. cyd charisse plays the opposite of the femme fatale, whatever you want to call that, and is also great. she’s a looker who counters totter’s coniving and manipulation with steadfast loyalty.
