If you love Erich von Stroheim and Dan Duryea, this early film by Anthony Mann is for you. Duryea and von Stroheim are both great at all the little things that come between the words and the dialogue is good, too, not surprising as one of the screenwriters, Heinz Herald, won an Oscar for "Dr. Erlich's magic bullet" and was nominated for "The Life of Emile Zola". The story is imaginative, the whole thing is pretty good. I have to write ten lines of review without any spoilers, which is hard for this movie, although the plot twists are not exactly unpredictable. It's really von Stroheim's movie, which you can't say very often.
