I rather like this quite unusual blend of noir and romance. It opens quite uniquely after which a sweeping, rich score accompanies the opening credits which move into a minor tonality upon the producer credit in a clever hint of that this isn't going to be a quaint little film set in a small town.
A strong cast with Cotton giving an edge to his character with a past and Valli who is his redemption and Spring Byington bringing an indomitable goodness which comes across as maybe naive but her character is an optimistic survivor who in reality is a force. Esther Dale brings sassiness and a reprove in amongst the undercurrent of darkness.
