- Citazioni
Carl Lutcher: You know something? I hate people. They're the worst thing that ever happened to this world. They're liars and cheats. You can't trust any of them.
Maisie: Some of my best friends are people!
Carl Lutcher: Well, you'll learn, That's all I got to say.
Maisie: Oh, Lutch, don't be mad. You'll get another job. Things always turn out for the best.
Carl Lutcher: You know, when I was a kid, I caught a lot of birds one day. I laid a branch of a tree on the ground and covered it in that sticky stuff, that bird lime, you know? And all these birds got stuck on it. There must have been about a dozen of them. I wished I could get them off but I didn't know how. I couldn't get rid of them. So I ran around, waving the branch and shaking it and banging it against a wall. But I still couldn't get them off. I busted their legs and everything. I nearly went crazy. I couldn't just throw it away and leave them there. So you know what I did? I stuck them all in a big tank of water and drowned them.

The beginning of the movie may puzzle the viewer and may seem confused and off-putting;but further acquaintance generates a tense suspense : the crummy flat where Dan Duryea and his mistress live, "I've got something to do " says he ; then the bizarre atmosphere in the street and the posh people who are in direct contrast to the first characters "Seems I've been being followed" Jason says ,connecting both worlds.
Jason is murdered ; the killer claims that he was paid by his wife Ellen to do away with him; but she denies it and cries over her late man's body ;but is she really the weeping widow? Or is she putting an act? And her attentive escort ,Doug , who stands by her : is he her accomplice? "Now, you're alone ,and so is she" says the cop. Or ,unbeknown to her, did he want to get rid of his partner who works with him as an architect?
Patricia Owens shines in this Christiesque riddle.
