Zachary Scott, probably best known for his role in "Mildred Pierce", is here as the boyfriend. gold-digger Ronnie (Scott) first makes the moves on older sister Hilda (Faye Emerson) for her money, but then moves on to younger sister Anne (Mona Freeman). it's not quite a murder noir, but close. it's pretty good. very typical film from the 1940s... a little dark, some mystery, but all quite harmless. this one is a little too sweet and sugary to be a murder noir; it's all very obvious who the bad guy is. no-one has to search for the murderer. no fog. no newspaper reporter searching following clues all over town. this one is more about suspense... will they figure it out, before Ronnie can do too much damage? Scott died quite young of a brain tumor. Film directed by french director Robert Florey. he had started in the silents, but directed talkies into the 1940s, then switched over to television. it's pretty good. just a little too light and fluffy at the end.
