    • Goofs
      When Alan sees the archived newspaper article, the first brief paragraph is on topic. The second paragraph is unrelated and everything else on the page is gibberish.
    • Quotes

      Allen Quinton: You are so calm, it is so contagious, you... you are so happy.

      Victoria Morland: I will tell you the secret, just two words, "Be yourself". You are afraid of that, everybody is. But I have no choice, I can't be anything but myself.

    ROMANCE, MYSTERY AND MURDER.....WELL DONE!

    This is one of the 4 (successful) pairings of Joseph Cotten and Jennifer Jones. The latter receiving 3 Oscar nominations for her (their?) efforts (including this one). The debonair Cotten and the delightful Jones are perfectly cast. The title of the film provides the "connecting thread" for our seemingly doomed lovers. This mystery/love story is a "grabber" beginning to end. The film is a cornucopia of actions and emotions. The English countryside is very effective for this tale. The inevitability of their fates is obvious, but it's a very long and twisted road to get there....... and a very enjoyable road too...

    Joseph Cotten at his best, Jennifer Jones at her best, and a fine supporting cast... A MUST SEE...
