Movie is stylish, and compelling, with twists and turns, and one extended flashback that keeps the viewer offguard. Which is what happens to Robert Mitchum's detective. He is smart, direct, and always one step ahead of everyone, except for the matters of the heart. Which catches him offguard.
Enter the stunning Jane Greer, who changes Mitchum's life. Their relationship makes this movie worthwhile. Kirk Douglas brings charming menace to his supporting role.
And for a film noir, it was nice to see scenic mountains, forests, lakes, beaches, with picturesque trips to Mexico, LA, San Francisco, and other rural California locales.
Did I mention how attractive Jane Greer is ? It's no wonder Mitchum falls so fast, and so blindly in love.
