I just got through watching this movie and two things stood out. One is that the bad man, James Mason(Martin Donnelly) played by James Mason, in this blackmail scheme fell for the mark,(Lucia Harper) played by Joan Bennett, with only a couple of conversations. In fact in the second conversation Lucia chastises and belittles Martin but somehow it turns the tide and he falls for Lucia. The second is the "Help" (Sybil)played by Frances E. Williams who is ever present when the blackmailer(s), Martin and (Nagel) played by Roy Roberts, come to the house. She sees them and seems to be privy to the fact they aren't exactly good guy's though she develops a liking for Martin. Though not credited in the movie the character plays an essential roll in the story. Overall it's not a bad movie which gets to the suspense quickly and resolves with the loose ends all tide up.
