Ray Milland is the fall guy in Charles Laughton and George Macready's murder coverup.Told in the back-to-front flashback style unique to film noir, John Farrow's ingenious, criminally undervalued mystery thriller sometimes skirts the edge of screwball comedy. This highly entertaining thriller has some intriguing plot similarities to both Welles' Mr. Arkadin and Alain Corneau's Police Python 357.
