Reviews (1)
A melancholic film noir in the snow. I don’t consider it to be a B movie. More like an excellent, straightforward non-genre representative of its style with an unusual hero. And the camera... Tourneur simply understands black and white film more than anybody else. The only reproach I have has to be addressed at Anne Bancroft’s awful hairstyle; she shouldn’t have gone out in public with an atrocity like that on her head.
