  I have watched a lot of old black and white crime movies. When Watching them, I like to see who is in the movies that I have seen before. I wish they could bring back some of these old movies as a regular series. The movies deserve a lot more viewing than they get. Please keep showing more of these movies.

  Great cinamatography by John Alton. George Sanders and Barbara Stanwick are perfect. Very suspenseful.

  Great use of Los Angeles exteriors, especially the apartment buildings and high rise development. Also, the interactions between Stanwyck and her costars are excellent. The roles are pretty much would you would expect for these actors: Stanwyck is tough; Sanders is cagey; and Merrill is dependable and likable. It's particularly fun to see Sanders and Stanwyck go toe to toe. There's one major plot hole: Sanders' character keeps the first letter he claims that she has sent him and turns it into the police along with the second letter he has composed on her typewriter. The second letter would definitely incriminate her, but the police would know that the first letter was typed on a different machine, unless Sanders re-typed it on Stanwyck's typewriter. We don't see that on-screen and so we are to assume that it's still the original letter he typed on his own typewriter at home.

  Fast paced little murder thriller enhanced very much by Barbara Stanwyck’s presence and a solid supporting cast. Fast pacing helps, the score is a little much at times. Good photography and screenplay.

• Right up there with Rear Window.

  This movie is about Barbra Stanwyck witnessing a murder from her apartment, no one will believe her. Barbra is great as usual and George Sanders plays a creep.I would like this movie to be better known and maybe(please oh please)a DVD release.It's on TCM on January 12 check it out, you won't be disappointed.
