    • Quotes

      Helene Castle: I suppose you want to ask me about Ken. I read the papers.

      Cameron: You knew him then?

      Helene Castle: I'm his wife. But don't let that worry you. Ken and I have been separated for so long that we were almost on speaking terms again.

    • Crazy credits
      Margaret Hotine, Michael Bowen and Kay Callard were included in the list of actors in the opening titles but not in the character-plus-actor list in the closing credits.

    Good "B" picture offering which overcomes its finale

    Absorbing little co-feature that holds the interest. It would be worth the price of admission if not for the I-want-my-money-back ending. Nice acting jobs all around, Miss Lister in particular. Good workmanlike performance by the dependable Lloyd Bridges. The picture didn't drag and moved along at a nice clip. In truth, I didn't mind the ending as I felt the plot was starting to dig a hole for itself which made the ending rather timely. Had never seen this picture in TV listings - I had a DVD copy which was quite good. Makes you wonder how many other underrated films never made it to a format of any kind, and are now gone forever.
