FOLKS, please stop abusing the term "film noir." This flick is a very mundane B movie, with a ridiculous plot.
The actors are adequate, certainly, but this film is little more than a "filler." Scott, Southern and Davis are fine, considering the material with which they are working.
The first twenty minutes are promising, but the film quickly falls apart, once the plot is centered on the young girl.
It's great to have access to these obscure movies on TCM. However, this is simply a poorly constructed film. And, to reiterate, this is NOT A FILM NOIR.
