I couldn't help loving a pathetic fool getting his dangerous adventure and watching him crumble each step of the way. And when that sucker is excellently played by an aging Claude Rains, how could I not love it. I simply love Claude Rains films where there is a touch of darkness.

A diverting enough entertainment...but in the end it didn't really seem to amount to much. Rains does a nice turn as Nebbish Guy, and Toren is fine as the Lead Tart. But all that splashing around in the waters of psychological melodrama (an unfortunately all too prevalent fixation of the 1950s) leads only to murkiness rather than insight.
