A very good script, the delighful, soft and sweet colors of the 50's, an interesting cast (Sidney Blackmer, Warren Stevens, Vera Ralston, Virginia Grey, and Lee Van Cleef fascinating as usual)... So, dispite a direction without imagination, a little unexpected gem. Thank you for the discovery.

I love these Noir movies better than the crap out today

Especially from Republic Pictures ! The photography & production values are higher here than in most of their movies.

Ignore all the negative comments. I think this was an interesting, gorgeously shot film noir. I did NOT see the twist coming.

Nice 1956 Continental Mark II. Only 3,000 built in 1956-1957.

Hello from Russia. Those cars ! They remind me of my granddad's Volga 21 ( obviously inspired by 1950s Ford models). Good old times, good old movies.

Joan Crawford helped get David Brian into film. It's a good movie with her and David Brian called "The Damned Don't Cry". Check it out. Oh, Lee Van Cleef I knew his face but I was thinking older in those western movies. He was a youngster here. This movies was entertaining gets the mind off of the harsh realities of life. The colors of these type movies helps.

Totally agree with you in regards to "The Damned Don't Cry". Excellent noir with a top notch cast (Joan, Davie, Steve Cochran, Kent Smith, etc). And yes, it was Joan Crawford indeed that helped David Brian get his start in the movies (starting off with a contract with Warner Bros).

The woman crazy to go up to the killer's home.

Patients in these old movies always had their heads wrapped in a white napkin.

Lee Van Cleef, I know I knew that face. The Good, the bad and the Ugly with Clint Eastwood. Very good movie.

Film was released in December 1956

Great to see this restored version screened in the correct Naturama aspect ratio of 2.35:1, and the color resolution shows how good was Republic/Consolidated's later three-color Trucolor, always lampooned by the arty posers. Shame that Republic's better release programme of 1956 did not work out for them.

Wow big change for Vera Ralston. The 1947 film The Flame she was a blonde Femme Fatale. Here in 1956 her hair much shorter, really looks different, the heavy accent gave her away. She did four more films to end her career. Lee Van Cleef as a cop...doesn't work for me. He's a badass, crook, con man, heavy!😊

Forensics didn’t figure much in the story. No powder burns from the discharge and no evidence of her presence in the car. Things weren’t adding up. The band had a double bass and sounded like a huge string section.

Good film. 👍

well done though it feels a bit artificial, the acting and the setting..the filmstudio very much is noticeable a filmstudio, but fair enough, it's overall very stylish, modern and clean looking. at the end a well crafted piece of film.

Entertaining movie 🍿

GREAT!!!🏆

Sidney Blackmer age well from the 1930s and 40s.

Something strange about this movie: though the video file "Properties/Details" says 25 frames per second, when played it looks like 30 or even a bit more. The motion appears unusually smooth; you have to look closely to see the flicker. By the way, from the year the film was made or at any rate released (1956), as well as the look of it, it was filmed in Trucolor three-strip, not the earlier two.

Enjoyable and good acting
