Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaVivian Vance (Leah) and Philip Ober (Gregory) were married. This is the only film they both appear in, but they have no scenes together.
- GoofsWhen Ellen is walking on the beach, she sees the boat upside down, leading to her misreading the name "Monsoon" on its side as "Noosnow". But in the later scene where David sees the name of the boat, now right side up, reflected in the water, the name is not simply reflected upside down but also inexplicably backward.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits consist of a series of visiting cards placed, one at a time, on a silver salver. The credits are written in a simple yet elegant script, and give the impression of having been engraved, as visiting cards typically were when in fashion. The closing credits are displayed in the same manner, but upon a solo visiting card laying upon the salver.

Featured review
Middling Minor Noir with a good first half
Intriguing, but ultimately preposterous noir melodrama with a hysterical performance from Claudette Colbert. It's understandable that Colbert is upset. Her wedding to Robert Ryan is interrupted by a man saying she is already married. Several people back him up and it's pretty convincing. Ryan's having his doubts, and Colbert is doubting her own sanity. A murder takes place and it leads to a trial staged in two of the silliest courtroom scenes ever. The first half of the film is pretty good, thanks to the intrigue, but it can't sustain credibility. No spoilers on the outcome. Roy Webb is credited with an overwrought score, using a piano theme by Robert Schumann that we hear in variations -- the same tune that obsesses Joan Crawford throughout POSESSED (1947). There's some interest in the cast though: Paul Kelly, Paul Picerni, an uncredited Jose Ferrer (no relation to director Mel), Philip Ober and his then-wife Vivian Vance who is quite good in one of her few, but this time memorable, film parts before she became the immortal "Ethel Mertz".
