The beginning of this film had me questioning whether or not it would really go anywhere, but somewhere along the way I discovered I was completely sucked in and nearly on the edge of my seat! Stanwyck is amazing as she usually is, and it was real interesting seeing Lancaster playing such a manipulated character. 
Some great supporting cast too. Ed Begley is always a pleasure to see, and William Conrad while still a big guy, was the thinnest I’ve ever seen him! Haha

Lloyd Nolan is masterful at subtlety! Watch his face as things are said and happens.

Couldn’t help but chuckle as we no sooner see someone get a mask hammered onto their face,  then the screen proudly declares the film a “Jolly Film Production”.
Really impressive production and one of the greatest transformation effects I’ve seen in a film of the era!

Still fun after all these years.
Jokes land on all fours and a lot of them really don’t date themselves all that much
