Another wonderful Broderick Crawford performance brings gravitas to a sensational plot where what people know, even how they look at you, knowingly, becomes pivotal to the twists of the story. John Derek and a stylish Donna Reed in the role of investigative reporters keep the pressure on the story, as the tension ratchets ever higher. Even in minor roles, old character actors (like Henry O'Neill) bring life to the whole cast with better-than-expected acting. There is some nice ironic banter between the leads and Broderick Crawford grabs the limelight in his every scene, chewing the scenery, in a good way. A fast-paced but doom-laden plot and that sense of the walls closing in make it a noir in spirit, if not in body. Recommended!
