Wow. Thanks for the upload, TCM. This really defines the "femme fatale" theme; I can think of no better besides "The Maltese Falcon," and the deadly dame in that one needed Bogart to slowly reveal her nature. Here, the "lady's" predatory evil is clear from the first few minutes...so one watches to see just how bad she will be. This is one creepy horror film.

*****NonSpoiler review**** Excellent movie with a great suspenseful plot. I love black and white movies, but NOT all. This is one of the best. The cast is fabulous and the story is a psychological drama. If you are interest in human behavior and the Sociopathic/Psychopathic Narcissist who destroys each one in her/his path you will love this. Thank you to Timeless Classic Movies. I would highly recommend. Leslie Brooks is breathtaking.

It is interesting to look at a B film like this and wonder just why it is a B film; what does it lack to make if an A film Or to put it another way, why does the combination of Billy Wilder, Raymond Chandler, Fred MacMurray, Edward G. Robinson, Barbara Stanwyck make for a great movie?

Maybe she thought the doctor was on to her and would expose her? Or perhaps she truly in her own way loved lee burns and felt some some of guilt? Any other suggestions or did I miss something.

As a couple of people have commented, the ending was unbelievable - or should I say, even more unbelieveable than the rest of the plot! But at the end of these films when the main actress is plainly seen to be a murdress, and likely to be executed, a script writer knows they must not leave the audience wondering how dreadful her fate is going to be and killing her off, no matter how, gives a sense of ending, which is what all good fiction has!
