7/10
Greenstreet and Bremer are the real stars of the film

Good story. What stands out are the performances of Mr and Mrs Mansfield (Sidney Greenstreet and Lucille Bremer). One great visual sequence which is unforgettable--Mr Mansfield opens the twin doors to his wife's bedroom with both hands, a majestic entry of power, and returns from the bedroom opening just one door of the the same set of doors with one hand. Many viewers might have missed the metaphor. Director Edgar Ulmer may be unknown but that was a wonderfully planned sequence!
