Slightly gothic in atmosphere what with the foggy damp London and some dramatic symphony music - Cregar gives a compelling turn as a very troubled composer who agonises over fugues and concertos while Darnell is ravishing as one of his vying muses. George Sanders and Faye Marlowe also put in good work. There is some innovative camera work - some truly creepy scenes - even chilling - with fascinating use of music and songs peppered throughout, and woven into the plot. A memorable and worthy watch you won't regret.
