Curiosidades
At the 71 minute mark, Martha Wier (Marsha Hunt) and Helen Gentling (Dorothy Hart) are seen riding in a taxi in areas of the University of California Berkeley campus that are no longer open to regular automobile traffic. The taxi is first seen heading north through Sather Gate and across the bridge over Strawberry Creek. The taxi turns right, heading east in front of Wheeler Hall, and is then seen driving west, down the hill from the Campanile. Finally, the taxi stops in front of the "Boalt Hall of Law," which was the law school's home from 1911 to 1951, and which was renamed Durant Hall when the law school moved to a new location at the southeast corner of campus.

Shelley Winters sizzles

William Powell doesn't just take one false step in this thriller, he takes several. But the point of the story is that it only takes one step in the wrong direction for you to tumble completely down the hill and crash. As is often the case in Hollywood oldies, the false step comes in the form of a morally loose woman. There's nothing worse than a floozie who likes booze and men, in the eyes of the Hays Code.

Bill is happily married to Dorothy Hart, and has a good job as a college professor. Temptation comes in the form of Shelley Winters, an old girlfriend who wants to have another fling. She's sizzling in this movie and gets to wear some gorgeous gowns that leave nothing to the imagination. However, if Bill is happy and has moved on, why does he agree to go to her apartment for drinks? One false step leads to another, and the next thing he knows, he's being accused of Shelley's murder. . .

The oddest part of this movie is that when Bill gets into trouble, he doesn't turn to his wife. He turns to his gal pal Marsha Hunt, and the two of them seem to have a better relationship than he and his wife. The script could have made Marsha his wife and cut out the friend's character altogether. You'll also see James Gleason, Sheldon Leonard, and Felix Bressart in the supporting cast. It's a bit sad to see Felix in his last movie, because he was very thin and very sick. He's often filmed from behind or at a distance, and I wonder if a double was used. Still, if you're a Shelley Winters fan, you might want to check this one out to see her looking so pretty.
