I've read the other comments here and I have to agree most of them.
Margaret Tallichet was, in my opinion, excellent in her role. It is unfortunate that she retired from the screen so soon, after marrying the famous director William Wyler - a successful marriage.
John McGuire was eye candy in this film. His performance, while not absolutely terrible, was sadly short of those presented by the grand array of talent about him.
Peter Lorre, who started in silent films, always managed to say as much with his expressions and he ever did with his lines.
It is undoubtedly film noir, and I can't recall any film noir (American) as early as this one (1940). I was a late comer to the appreciation of this genre - it sets a mood that I used to find disturbing when I was young.
Definitely worth a viewing.
