Early hopes that this might be another DETOUR were dashed. For the first half it seems to be going somewhere, but then it loses traction and meanders towards an unsatisfying conclusion. However, Ulmer pulls off a few terrific moments, and the first half is quite compelling. Langton makes for a good leading man. More notably, this is the final appearance of the tragic Barbara Payton. Her vulnerability is an asset. The film leaves something to be desired, but it has some charm and talent in it.
