...Because there ARE no animals in this fine early '50's noir film! I'm referring to Ivan Tors,
who wrote the screenplay. He's probably best remembered for his work with Lions, Tigers and maybe even Bears in his productions.
In any case, I caught this ittle noir gem in
the wee small hours and really enjoyed it.
Who can deny Gloria Grahame's beauty- and talent? Vittoria Gassman turns in a powerful
performance as well. Good supporting cast including Jerry Paris. Some silly bits (Like Gassman's photo FILLING THE FRONT PAGE
of the newspaper!) don't diminish the suspense. Add it to your 'must-see' noir list.
