For one thing, I didn't find Franchot Tone convincing as a tough private investigator.
As the film progressed, I didn't feel that I was gaining any insight into what was going on inside the characters heads. They remained ciphers.
The plot, which is more confusing than engrossing, crawls along and never gains any momentum.
I found the background music irritating and distracting. If a film is good, why does it need lush music to induce the right mood in the viewer?
