I kept seeing the very beginning part of this film being shown advertising scary or bizarre films and so thought it was about time that I saw it all the way through. It starts off well - a woman reports a prowler outside her window at home and 2 policemen arrive to speak to her. One becomes infatuated by her and tries to get her to run away with him, despite her being a married woman. Then certain unpleasant things happen and the story just suddenly goes downhill. Bit of a pity really because this is one of those sort of film-noir, sort of thriller movies that, if it were really good, you would be scared of on a Saturday night, but it ended up being far too ridiculous for that. Van Heflin is a good actor though, and Evelyn Keyes would end up acting in the hilarious 'The Seven Year Itch' in years to come.
