I think they could have accomplished the same thing in a more clever and less intrusive manner, like the Twilight Zone episode about the "disfigured" girl with the hideous-faced doctors. Anyway, once you become aware of the gimmicky technique, it becomes annoying like Steve Sun and you just want it to go away, like Steve Sun.

Lauren Bacall and Agnes Moorehead are very good in this and Bogart (not a fan) is about what you'd expect. Even the bit parts are acted well and the story is good, but it just seems to be lacking something that could have made it great. If I knew what it was, I wouldn't be wasting my time on Flixster and I'd be out writing excellent scripts and you guys would all be ripping my stuff. Yeah, man.

I actually liked this more than To Have and Have Not (its plot makes more sense!) plus Agnes Moorehead was pretty amazing.

Set in San Francisco, this is one movie you can really feel, as if you are there, for those of us who frequent that city. Best scenes, with Agnes Moorehead and Bruce Bennett (Tarzan)

Definitely second-tier Bogey noir, with a contrived plot. But I must confess that I could watch Bogey and Bacall simply sip coffee and read the Sunday paper for an hour and be entertained, so I was more than satisfied. Agnes Moorehead was beautiful...

Agnes Moorehead was beautifully wicked. And I thought she was bad on "Bewitched!" The unlicensed plastic surgeon and his hallucinogenic ether was a fun sidebar too.

I couldn't figure out how that one woman fell from the window. That seemed weak. I also thought there could have been more depth to the Bacall character. She was a bit flat.

The whole first half is in first person which is crazy! You never see Bogart's face. It was a pretty good movie, though the real killer was kinda lame.

I saw this vacationing in Europe many years ago. Probably the least of the Bogey/Bacalls, but enjoyment can still be derived.

A honeymoon for bogey and bacall, pov pretty plodding, especially regarding arm usage. Worth watching just for the technical angle.

A cool premise, but a bit slow.

Some really interesting camera work for 1947.

The mystery is obvious but the chemistry between Bogart and Bacall is palpable.

It drips of noir. If you ever played Max Payne you can see that they got the mona sax character from lauren bacalls idiosyncrasies. That and Bogey is the freaking man.
