A pretty good thriller with an engaging mystery at its core. Parts of it feel very Hitchcockian, particularly the scene with Van Johnson's character stumbling around the bomb-damaged building, which is truly heart-in-mouth stuff. The atmosphere is enhanced by the excellent location shots of fog-bound London, although some of the minor characters like the pub landlady are a bit clichéd. Overall, nothing ground-breaking or remarkable, but definitely worth a look.

Engaging mystery film that anticipates gialli in some respects, while riding in the wake of Hitchcock.

Not quite Hitchcock, but close. Henry Hathaway is an accomplished action/suspense director, Van Johnson is as good as I've ever seen him, and Vera Miles is lovely and sympathetic.
