Melodrama noir by a Mielestone commited to his material. There's a bit of real destructive passion between Heflin and Stanwyck, specially in the hill bonfire sequence. Douglas is great in his debut.

Young Martha inadvertently causes the death of her cruel, authoritarian aunt. Martha lies to the cops, and Walter, who saw the crime, corroborates her story. Eventually, they wed out of convenience. The meek Walter is genuinely in love and Martha thinks that her secret is safe since she has married the one witness to her aunt's death. However, when her childhood pal, Sam, shows up Martha knows her dark past may not stay a secret for long.

"Alkuun hieman hitaasti käynnistyvä mutta lopulta kaikin puolin äärimmäisen tyylikäs noiri. Stanwyckvamppeilee parhaansa mukaan ja Kirk Douglas vetää hyvin ensimmäisessä elokuvaroolissaan. "

"Klassikko rullaa mallikkaasti kunnes jossain kolmannen näytöksen käynnistymisen tienoilla alkaa sakkaamaan. Hassua nähdä yksi ikonisimmista kulta-ajan machoista, Kirk Douglas valkokangasdebytanttina pelokkaan nösväkkeen roolissa."
