- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Fritz Lang's direction does what it can to inject suspense and interest but the melodrama never really jells."
-
"Once he's raised the standard social issues, Lang destroys them all with a shatteringly nihilistic conclusion."
-
"While perhaps overdependent on coincidence and contrivance, this deft thriller guards its secret right to the end and proved a fitting swan song to Fritz Lang's Hollywood career."
