Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesA hand-held camera was used in many scenes to give a "live action" feel to those sequences. This was extremely rare in feature films of the time.
- GaffesAfter Walter Brent knocks the lamp over, starting a fire, Mary Malden brings a lantern from the kitchen and places it on the end table where the lamp had been. A few minutes later, however, when she brings the tea tray, the table is on its side and Jim Wilson hurries to right it before she trips on it.

- ConnexionsFeatured in Music for the Movies: Bernard Herrmann (1999)
There's much to recommend in this film. Bernard Hermann's music is excellent. Ray's handling of the chase scenes in the snow, and his evocation of a small rural community, is masterful. The movie seems a little too short to me, for what it's trying to do, and at times spreads itself too thin. It's at various points a crime film, a romance, a mystery, an action picture and a psychological study. The actors, Ryan in particular, are outstanding. No one could play a brooding loser like he could. His emotional outbursts early on feel almost psychotic. Later, mellowed out in the frozen north (irony of ironies!), his vulnerable side begins to emerge, and he becomes sympathetic to us, and eventually empathetic toward the woman. One senses his cluelessness about what's happening in him emotionally, as we, the audience, get it, and he doesn't. He's almost fragile trying to deal with tender feelings, especially since if he messes up or things go wrong he can't very well punch his way out of this one.
