Overall a good 2nd rate drama for the setting and era. The director's attempt at suspense in the beginning was a bit much, the idea that they would wait for a package was a stretch too. Then when she agrees to give it all up to marry him in the end... really? I think they were wanting to remake Key Largo. But I watched it all and enjoyed it. -Leif

Fun movie with lots of surprises. If you are looking for a modern, violent, action packed movie with lots of annoying flashes, look away.....if you're looking for mystery, intrigue, twists and turns, this is definitely for you!!!

I found it hard to sympathize with the lead characters, because their responses to their predicament lacked motivation: I was not convinced of their sincerity no matter which way they turned. The plot was entirely too facile, too unbelievable, for me to derive pleasure from the experience.

I love these little MGM jewels. What a good movie. Lots of twists and turns. Keeps you quessing 'til the end. Good acting and great Hitchcock setting. I think I'll watch it again right now!!

Anyone else notice that the real murderer must have driven past the prison trying to confess to the warden at the last minute. Seems odd that he wouldn't have gone to the prison directly.

Great movie! I much prefer this type which elicits a cerebral response to those that appeal soley to the visceral.

Even in the sixty's this shows that people believe what you tell them... to a point.

A good watch, with a silly ending, but still worth the watch.

Okay movie seemed to be in the same vein as Twelve Angry Men. Remember Henry Fonda? except here everybody turned bad -- oh what a thing money can do -people's horns stared coming out - and by the way way does peoples horns actually go back inside? Dialogue worked pretty well in the beginning -- some things stood out -- and I kept looking at a scene on the staircase where the rug could have done some bad damage to the actors in one take. the ending took a turn for the worst. I started laughing. it got hastey and pastey or sappy... just sappy.
