Great cast, setting, story line and a great classic film
1 of 1 found this helpful I was about 11 years old when I saw this film and the plot, film noir classic scenes, acting, and mood remained with me until this day even though I am now 79 years of age. This film and others of dark genre were set in post WWII while Europe sifted through the ashes of a horrible war. I can't find large faults with the film and frankly, it scared me silly as a kid.
Joseph Cotten was good in his role but the drunk or tipsy scenes seemed a bit forced. Orson Welles typically turned in a great performance as did Alida Valli. The plot twists such as the ending scene with Valli ignoring Joseph Cotton at the end was classic. I give this wonderful classic five stars.
