I thought this film noir was excellent. I really felt the anguish Talbot goes through because he did NOT kill anyone but got himself into a terrible situation just because of love. I can understand how wanting to love someone could make a person turn his whole life upside down. It gave everyone around him awful consequences. Guilt pulled them down.
Ann Sheridan and Kent Smith gave first rate performances. The direction and atmosphere make this a superior film noir even if it perhaps was made as a B movie. The sets and the costumes contribute to the feeling.
It's interesting to see how far Hollywood could go at the time to show sin and people committing crimes. The main characters, all though lovers, never share a bedroom. They are respectable to the end.
