There's some gimmicky silliness in the film, especially the dog - but fortunately the detective's blindness is not used as a gimmick (except perhaps in a fight scene, which thus allows stalwart character actor Edward Arnold to exercise considerable acting muscle here - he does a splendid job - as does a young, energetic Donna Reed.
The film has a professional polish to it. The pacing could have been a little swifter, but not by much; generally the tension is maintained throughout.
Very much of its time, but worth preserving for strong performances and solid direction.
