Otto Preminger, director, does an excellent job of pacing the story and of building sympathy for Andrews.

Fox may not have plumbed the depths of realism this time, but it still looks interesting, even two-thirds of the way down.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Fresh
The last of Otto Preminger's studio pictures at Fox, this 1950 feature has many of the noirish qualities of his Laura and Fallen Angel: Dana Andrews, ambiguity about the characters' dark undertones, and a fluid, fascinating mise en scene.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fresh
A weatherbeaten Andrews gives one of his finest performances.
