This movie flawlessly veers from melodrama to film noir. It's one of these classic Hollywood movies built on a hoary mistaken identity plot device yet it completely works, thanks to perfect direction and wonderful performances by Barabara Stanwick and Jane Cowl.

I didn't know it's an adaptation of the novel I Married A Dead Man by Cornell Woolrich. I can't wait to read the book. I don't know how faithful the film is to the text, but it's very woolrichian indeed. Barbara Stanwyck is excellent, as usual. I was impressed by the train accident scene.

A great little film-noir with a pretty good ending. Lyle Bettger establishes his character, Steve Morley, as the biggest A-hole in the world in his first scene without speaking a word. Other highlights include a surprising train scene that I didn't even think was ever done in the 50s. Very enjoyable film.

I think Barbara Stanwyck is a babe, even when she's bawling about being an unwed mother.

Surprisingly solid noir.

Didn't realize Mrs. Winterbourne was a remake from this. A littler darker, less campy. Still enjoyable.
