MoseHarper’s review:
There's a great musical in here somewhere, and a great noir too. Together they don't mix.
Mario Lanza. What a fantastic singer. Such a terrible actor.
Never has Joan Fontaine been more vicious. She plays the ultimate femme fatale, too bad she does so in a misfire of a film.
Vincent Price lends the proceedings a well needed sense of greatness, as is to be expected, and literally lights up the screen whenever he is on it. The projectionist has to put out the fire after every appearance.
In a small role we see Vince Edwards. He looks tough.
