Although it's hardly a noir masterpiece, it's an enjoyable film. The script (by a young Robert Altman) is tight and lean, with some fun bits of business. The photography is not very memorable, but it gets the job done and there are a few unusual close-ups. It's nice to see Tierney in a role that allows him to stretch a little, and he has a lively chemistry with Priscilla Lane. The whodunit aspect of the film isn't that satisfying but it's got some nice details and is sufficiently entertaining.
