Customer Reviews

Three outstanding stars in a different and dramatic story.
Robert Taylor is the one who stole the show. Katharine was at her lovely and believable best while Robert Mitchum gave such a fine performance that I thought it had been Spencer Tracy who played his part.

Taylor, to me, exceeded my expectations in his role of mean husband and cruel master to one of the most beautiful, big, black horses I have ever seen.

Director Minnelli used shadows and effects in a professional manner. It must have been his direction that carried this movie to the height I think I remember from so many years ago.

I may decide to purchase the video so that I may view the movie on a rainy day. I am happy to have the opportunity to review this great film.

Film Noir Psychological Thriller..!
This movie starts out slowly but builds as things just don't seem right in the Garroway family. The movie will hold your attention as the story builds to a climax with "the truth" finally revealed at the end. Robert Taylor plays the brother of Mitchum and the husband of Hepburn. He is hiding a secret and is not what he seems. One of my favorite thrillers.

Surprising
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. While it was a departure for Ms. Hepburn, it was intriguing to see her go through the ups and downs as a damsel in distress, if for no other reason than to see her do something against type. Since I'm used to seeing her in strong female roles, it was interesting to see her play someone who was a victim. The whole cast did a great job. Of course, I wasn't looking for the film to be flawed, I was expecting to enjoy it. Maybe that's the difference between me and those who didn't like the film.
