Stunning cinematography, awesome locations, plot twists a-plenty and more tough-guy dialog than you can shake a stick at make this one a must-see for fans of noir thrillers.

Great movie, in every way.
Jacques has this crazy sense for atmosphere, and lays it on thick as could be.
His collaborations with Val Lewton are unbelievable.
