Dana Andrews was IMO rather a poor actor in this movie, he was non descript and insipid... of course the whole thing was quite the farce really, Gene Tierney played the lovely everyone love her character fine, Clifton Webb the bitter old man who no one could love and Vincent Price in a rare role as love interest...

A good non-sexist noir film that aged wonderfully.
A noir film where I genuinely could not quite guess who the killer was. It had good plot twists. The acting was really good and the cinematography was great. Like most noir film movies, I just wish the romance was a bit more fleshed out.

Excellent Film...
The movie was beautifully done and the actors\actresses performed their roles tremendously. This classic noir-thriller was unforgettable, but not as great as the novel. That really doesn't surprise since film adaptations hardly ever stay true to the books. Well, just in case for those who haven't read it yet. I would highly recommend for you to read it.

Not a true Noir
....which depicts life as a snakepit. Just a clever whodunit.
