Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A real 1940s Hollywood treat.
Fresh: Examples of film noir don't come much headier or more perverse than Charles Vidor's sultry little number...
Fresh: One of the great films noirs, softened just a little by the moralising censorship strictures of the time. See it.
Customer Reviews
An excellent choice
It's a classic film.
A Film Noir Classic!
This film is truly great! It has danger, excitement, and a suspenseful plot that make it one of the best film noirs of the 1940s. Glenn Ford is fantastic as the leading man and Rita Hayworth is the perfect femme fatale. The two have great chemistry, and Rita Hayworth's famous rendition of "Put the Blame on Mame" is just a part of what makes this film a memorable classic!
Greatest movie of the 40's
One of the best movies of the 40's. A true classic that all should see before death. I love this movie. It's great to watch over and over again
