In post-war London, former POW Bill Saunders (Burt Lancaster) kills a man in a bar fight and becomes a fugitive. He breaks into the home of nurse Jane Wharton (Joan Fontaine). She grows to care for him and starts taking care of him. He then gets blackmailed into crime.
This is a good crime noir. Burt Lancaster is the perfect rough and tumble leading man. I like the progression of the story. The bad guy character has good sleaziness. I would like him to do more and have a bigger ending. The last act needs a bit of work. The title is a little weird, but it sounds good. All in all, this is good noir.
