Dorothy Lamour is good in this otherwise rather drab crime noir. The plot is overly complex, bordering on the convoluted - you could almost get dizzy trying to follow the plot. Which is (briefly): Lamour plays "Merle"; the PA to a psychiatrist. She casually discusses his private cases with her on/off amour (Dan Duryea) and one such story involved a client's (Alan Napier) dreams that he kills his wealthy wife. Well, yep - you've guessed - the wife is duly murdered and an investigation ensues. Duryea, as the oily, smart-mouthed PI and Sterling Hayden as the investigating insurance man do fine, and Art Smith makes for quite a decent cop, but Lewis Foster let's this ramble on and no amount of tense violin music can compensate for what is just a lacklustre murder thriller.
