Filmed on location in a grandiose site, the movie is a taut suspenseful murder mystery ,close to English whodunit.The last scene , on the "dancing bucket" is not recommended for people suffering from vertigo ,a tour de force by Don Siegel whose movies are short (this one, the remake of "the killers "or his masterpiece "invasion of the body snatchers " ) but highly effective .
Cornel Wilde has style in his green uniform and Victoria Shaw ,though a reckless driver, is an endearing character ,particularly when she talks about the past of the place .
