Ida Lupino, whose company, The Filmakers, produced this title is clearly saying to the audience, look, we don't have the time and/or the budget to set this up logically but if you'll trust Robert Ryan and myself we'll make you forget that and carry you with us, and she is as good as her word. What we're being asked to ignore is this: Ryan hops a freight to a strange town where he knows no one. Immediately he lands a job doing housework for a widow. How? Lupino lives in the town, surely she knows a local handyman or two, how did she get word to Ryan, a stranger? Once we get past that the two leads are brilliant.
