Barbara Stanwyck mesmerizes as a woman with a past, bound by a crime to a husband she despises. Kirk Douglas quickens our collective pulses in his film debut as her disappointing, dipsomaniac spouse, while Van Heflin and Lizabeth Scott bring texture to supporting roles. Everything about this 1946 film noir is intriguing, from Lewis Milestone's direction to Edith Head's costumes to the edgy and troubled characters. It takes a long, hard look at guilt and the consequences of poorly planned actions. Well worth checking out, despite a wretched title. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Was Kirk Douglas ever more horribly miscast? The man exuded power, decisiveness and self-confidence.

But guilt is part of the picture too. Stanwyck, in the title role, was responsible when much younger for the demise of her equally domineering aunt, played with gusto by Dame Judith Anderson (before she became a dame--meaning, of course, ... Read More

...a dark film with everything but the kitchen sink thrown in-scratch that, I think the sink was tossed in there. Honestly, I thought Stanwyck and Douglas's performances were laughable. Douglas looked like he was just happy to be there and I don't know what Stanwyck's problem was. Van Helfin was okay but it's Lizabeth Scott that stole this one. She was the only character that came close to being believable. The young actors in the begining of the film were great, but the adult versions just fell flat. ... Read More
