- TriviaJoseph Cotten was the first actor to be approached for the role of "Dr. Pearson", and, after he had dropped out, Richard Todd was briefly considered for the role. Michael Rennie had recently had prominent supporting roles in two big Twentieth Century Fox movies made in Europe - "The Black Rose" and "The House In The Square" - and the studio was hoping to build him into a Hollywood leading man. This was his first film in America.

Featured review
Intriguing mystery, uninspired presentation
The script is intriguing, especially in the way it points the finger of suspicion at several different characters as to who is the writer of a series of poison pen letters in a small Canadian town, but it's also talky, and Otto Preminger's direction is strangely lacking in style, for the man who helmed the highly celebrated "Laura". This looks more like a TV movie before TV movies where in vogue. Linda Darnell and especially Constance Smith are gorgeous, Charles Boyer is very good, but Michael Rennie is miscast in the central role. ** out of 4.
