Amazon.com essential video:
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

I liked Toni Marachek played by Lizabeth Scott..She was honest and sincere.She had been framed and set up but she didn't try to control anyone as did Martha(Barbara Stanwyck) and Kirk Douglas's character.Van Heflin was torn between two women for a while but I liked the choice he made in the end..I liked the term he used "don't look back"..

Anyone who appreciates the films of Douglas Sirk will appreciate this superb melodrama, seething with fear, guilt, sex, and retribution. Stanwyck and Douglas are perfect as a venomous married couple bound together by a guilty secret. Heflin and Scott are good as well. Rossen's script and Milestone's direction are brilliant and precisely calibrated to be just over-the-top enough to suit the feverish story. The plot is totally unpredictable with scene after scene chock-full of surprising twists ... Read More

Barbara Stanwyck and Kirk Douglas got top billing on the VHS and DVD boxes I've seen but the real stars of this movie are Van Heflin and Lizabeth Scott, the likable, albeit, corrupt two of the foursome.
This is listed as a crime movie, a film noir, but at times is much more of a melodrama than anything else. It's a little too talky for my tastes yet I still enjoyed it because the acting is top-shelf, the dialog is fun and you get involved with the characters. The film could have used ... Read More

I bought this because Barbara Stanwyck is in it and I thought it would be good. However, it seems to be a poor duplication of Double Indemnity. The story wasn't the same but there were a lot of similarities. The movie wasn't very good and it was very disappointing as I expected much better.

Was Kirk Douglas ever more horribly miscast? The man exuded power, decisiveness and self-confidence. I've never come across a tougher-sounding weakling or less convincing alcoholic in any screen presence. Scott just wasn't very good. Nor was Stanwyck. These were unreal, unlived-in performances. Heflin, on the other hand, in spite of the haphazard direction and poorly managed scene-setting, delivered his lines well, in a relaxed, natural and easy manner. He seemed like a professional actor, who knew ... Read More
