The only negative is that there are many murder mysteries in this period! But at that Time there were only a few. And most of them were from Hollywood. This movie is a crime mystery film and since we have seen a lot of them, we can predict the climax. Yet, the movie is very much interesting, taken in Rashamon effect without any songs at that time was a very big experiment. And then we must say about the performance, It was top notch. This movie though has a predictable climax, we cannot guess it easily. And not only that, the murderer is definitely a twist but the reason is a bigger twist which can never be predicted(but it is not considered as a twist). At 1950's if you had seen this film, then you might have disliked it if you were a commercial cinema lover. But if you had seen it as an art film lover, you would have found this film as a gem. Yet this is a gem. The film is must watch for all. Never miss this film. Available on YouTube for free.
