Siodmak knows his way around a noir, and the camerawork is absolutely gorgeous. There's some seedy subject matter and stunning moments. Some standard noir themes are covered. But the film is a little underwhelming. There doesn't seem to be any chemistry between Durbin and Kelly. And a lot of the story, which isn't exceptionally engaging to begin with, comes off as filler. I can't be too harsh on a movie that nails the noir window dressing so well, but the substance is lacking.
