This would have been a perfect part for Bette Davis, and she would have made more off it, while Leslie Brooks is more beautiful. Bette Davis excelled in such characters, while Leslie Brooks endows it with other characteristics, like subtle calculation hidden under a shining layer of ice. Of course, there are no conciliatory circumstances here, and you can't understand how Les Burns could possibly take her back and fall for her again and again, and why that.doctor Geoffrey Kippinger is the only one who sees her through. All other men seem to be like blind mice around a piece of cheese, completely ignoring the mousetrap. What raises this film above average is the.adlorable music by. Irving Gertz, which might ultimately be the only thing you will remember of this film, almost like Preminger's "Laura" or at least in essence like it. All the rest is ordinary B-stuff, nothing special, professional policemen, Journalists and blackmailers. While Leslie Brooks steals the entire show and finally even makes a decent confession of it. How could she ever have imagined that she would get away with it? That is the question, which establishes the second rate of intelligence in this film.
