Should Stay Secret Clearly Nicholas Ray was "trying stuff out" that would later evolve into the distinctive style of 'Rebel Without A Cause', 'In A Lonely Place' et al. Just his second film - his first the much more straightforward They Drive By Night. But this film is a shambles. The camerawork is so bad its often unintentionally hilarious, some of the performances so over the top its a wonder there's any scenery left to chew, and the plot is garbled and incoherent. Given the talent involved (it really is an A list cast and crew on paper) this is a truly terrible film - frankly its a miracle he ever worked again!
