Mesmerizing build up of romance and tension by the snappy and captivating pen of Daniel Mainwaring (as Geoffrey Homes) and Jacques Tourneur’s keen eye. They draw a vigorous and pulsating tale of a man with a tormented past that encloses emotional and business related attachments, murder and betrayal.
Robert Mitchum is the man who passively awaits for a dreadful fate, not without scrutinizing and sabotaging the people who damaged him first.
