This movie is OK, but only OK and the acting about the same, the direction is OK too, but the story! Far fetched, laughable, ridiculous and verging on an insult to the audience's intelligence, this is of course just about kept afloat due to the efforts of Robert Mitchum (plus a fine cameo from Claude Rains). Even Mitchum has difficulty with some of the lines and actions and how he kept a straight face throughout must have been down to several takes. During the long scene towards the end when he has to stagger down the stairs and onto the street, I really felt for him because all that effort for a scene so stupid it was again laughable. Still, there is Mitchum, there is (briefly) Claude Rains and of course for a film based on such a daft idea, it has to turn out to be just that bit different.
