The noir plotting is nothing new here but some added ingredients and twists serve to keep this engaging till the end, A rich dame wants to lose her husband for her broke lover and schemes her way to get it manipulating every male in her vicinity - she's desperate, spiteful, jealous, mean and seductive - and her charm works, until it doesn't. The plot is slightly convoluted but everything comes together well in the end (though it is a tad abrupt). Plenty of tension and angst throughout and very serviceable acting from this quite large cast. Watch out for Nat King Cole singing at a nightclub. Better than expected - enjoyable and recommended.
