These days it is almost unheard of for a movie to keep you guessing until the last frame, but this one does, partly because Marquand plays it so beautifully straight.

No cutting edge, but does keep you guessing.

The wholesome cast completely obliterates the unstated perversities that have been this genre's reason for being.

An exciting "whodunit" that fits in with the sensational crimes reported in the tabloids.

Your average thriller. Is he bad or is he good? Fine for a diversion.

The screenplay, by Joe Eszterhas, does what it can to throw up a smokescreen, but the audience will probably be well ahead of the story's final resolution.

Not a bad thriller, as far as thrillers that aren't very good, go.
