ยกA surprise! Sirk as stylized as Von Sternberg (Gene Lockhart stumbling with the birdcages in the hat store is a pure delight)and as fine comedian as Wilder or Leisen. Glory to the amoral Vidock, redeemed because of pure comfort, after a great match with Lockhart (besto fo the cast) and the Tamiroff gang. Two twisted femmes, the ingenue Hasso and the fatale Landis.
