Quiz
After Director of Photography John Alton agreed to shoot this movie, he asked Producer Benedict Bogeaus how much he had budgeted for rigging - the system of overhead pipes, brackets, ropes, and cables that suspend lights over a film set. Bogeaus told him four thousand dollars. "Give me two thousand dollars above my salary and I won't use any rigging," said Alton. He did it by using almost no overhead lighting at all, contributing to the film's rich visual atmosphere.

Blooper
The screen shows a newspaper article stating that George Braden is about to go on trial for the murder of Fred Morgan. However, two people were killed, so both names should have been given.

overwrought acting

A robber breaks into a farm house. He is confronted by the owner and ends up killing the elderly couple. George Braden and his wife Ellen (Teresa Wright) are the neighbors. After some questionable responses, George is arrested for the murders. Doug Madison (Macdonald Carey) takes the case despite not believing in George's innocence.

At first, I thought some of this plot goes too far. I don't want to nitpick but I can't believe that they couldn't find the gun. Everybody knows where she threw it. It's not a raging river. Then I relaxed about it and realized that it's more about the acting style. The movie is doing that old melodramatic style. Teresa Wright is a great actress, but she's using her skills to do her utmost overwrought acting. I actually grew to like the plot especially if they could tweak some of it. I can see it be remade into something better.
