This movie is certainly not the one for which director George Waggner will be remembered for.... I guess that's the only "noir" detective film he made.... It's not bad, but just forgettable, bland, with a plot already seen dozens of time before. George Waggner was more comfortable in horror, adventure and western films. I just caught it by chance, and also because I was curious to see what a George Waggner's detective film could look like. But Waggner had no trademark, he was just a yes man, good technician, with no ambition and that's it; So, if you like detective stories, this one is not bad, I repeat, but offers nothing exceptional.
