When a man is convicted of a singer's murder, his wife tries to prove him innocent...aided by the victim's ex-husband.
Exemplary Film Noir gem, and an excellent Cornell Woolrich adaptation, complete with a 'happy ending' that isn't happy at all.
On second view: Good little Noir thriller, a bit pedestrian, but reaches Woolrich dimensions of dark dread in the finale.
Halliwell*: "Stylish but empty version of a tired theme, interesting for performance and atmosphere."
