Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. Its initial television broadcast took place in Chicago Sunday 4 January 1959 on WBBM (Channel 2); other sponsors resisted its pre-code plot twists, and it appears that it was not taken out of the vault again for a year and a half. However, curiosity and interest in seeing Cary Grant in one of his earliest leading roles overcame that situation and it eventually surfaced in Philadelphia on the Late Show Monday 20 June 1960 on WCAU (Channel 10), in Cleveland 21 October 1960 on WJW (Channel 8), in St. Louis 5 December 1960 on KMOX (Channel 4), in Grand Rapids 13 January 1961 on WOOD (Channel 8), in Orlando 21 February 1961 on WDBO (Channel 6), in Indianapolis 7 March 1961 on WFBM (Channel 6), and in Wheeling, West Virginia 27 March 1961 on WTRF (Channel 7). It was released on DVD 19 April 2016 as one of 18 [Paramount] titles in Universal's Cary Grant: The Vault Collection, and again 12 April 2016 as part of the Universal Vault Series.

Featured review
A story of love and murder
When I started watching this movie I didn't expect anything extraordinary of it and it didn't disappoint me one bit. This is a story of a young woman whose previous love interest comes back into town and wants to regain his possession of her although it is too late as she is almost engaged but this man doesn't take "no" for an answer so she chooses the only possible way out of this mess. Nancy Carroll plays her heart out in this picture and shows a great variety of emotions through and through. Young Cary Grant here is absolutely fabulous too and I don't believe I have ever seen him in a similar role (and I had watched about 60 of his movies). The whole movie doesn't belong to any specific genre being more of a mixture between a detective story, drama, romance and a little comedy and it shines in every one of them. People will always ask: how far will you go down the despicable road in the name of love? I'd say - far enough, if you're pure in heart and soul about a person you're going this road for.
