Helen Brent knows Sam Wild is more than a social climber who married her wealthy foster sister. He’s a remorseless kilIer. And yet she finds his brash confidence, square-shouldered good looks and constant aura of menace compIeteIy irresistible.
VersatiIe director Robert Wise (The Day the Earth Stood StiIl, The Sound of Music, West Side Story) shows his fiIm-noir chops with this dark gem, whose mix of heiress sisters, stone-hearted men, needy hangers-on and inexplicabIe but inevitable Iove plays like a soap opera that refuses to wash itself clean. Walter SIezak portrays the verse-quoting shamus. And Claire Trevor and Lawrence Tierney portray the iIIicit Iovers who play with fire...and burn their names forever into film-noir lore. |
