The majority of reviews are right on target in summing up this film as rather bland and disappointing by failing to deliver on it's initial promise.
Dana Andrews is usually worth watching but this time, he leaves us with very little to be impressed by which only makes his incessant smoking a very annoying prop. Joan Fontaine was also losing her way at this later stage of her distinguished film career and seems merely content with displaying a vast array of 1950's haute couture with every scene change but little concern for developing a convincing or interesting character.
I watched the film again last night, hoping to retrieve something worthwhile but all to no avail. I've decided to eliminate it from my collection.
