I've always liked Ida Lupino. She's always a stalwart in any role she does. That being said, this isn't one of the high marks in her career.
This has all the earmarks of a Noir but it really is more on the Soap Opera side than Noir.
Plot outline is older sister singer from NY decides to go to California to see her sisters and brother. They have gotten involved, in one way or another, with a local small time night club hood. Going any further with this will ruin the myriad of plot lines going through this mild "Soap Opera Noir". This is definitely not on the "A" side of films. Even though Raoul Walsh directed this it will never be on anyone's greatest noir's list.
This one is not really anything special. Don't go out of your way to see this one. It's not on any "must see" list.
