Film7.6GerilimDramSaldırgan mizaçlı senaryo yazarı Dix Steele (Bogart), bir cinayetten sorumlu tutulur ama yan komşusu Laurel Gray (Grahame), suç işlendiği sırada onun orada bulunmadığına dair tanıklık eder. Bu durum ikisi arasında tutkulu bir ilişkinin başlamasına yol açar; ne var ki Laurel, Dix’in vahşi yanıyla karşılaşınca çok korkar ve cinayeti gerçekten onun işleyip işlemediği noktasında şüpheye düşer. Bogart, yıllar boyunca romantik sert adamları canlandırdıktan sonra, bu filmde kendi beyazperde kişiliğinin daha derinlerine iner ve Sam Spade’e ya da Rick Blaine’e yakışmayacak bir nevrotik keskinlik sergiler. Gerek hak edenlere gerekse etmemiş olanlara tekme tokat saldırdığı öfke nöbetlerinde fazlasıyla korkutucu hale gelir.

Dizi6.8DramKomediFour Star Playhouse is an American television anthology series that ran from 1952 to 1956, sponsored in its first bi-weekly season by The Singer Company; Bristol-Myers became an alternate sponsor when it became a weekly series in the fall of 1953. The original premise was that Charles Boyer, Ida Lupino, David Niven, and Dick Powell would take turns starring in episodes. However, several other performers took the lead from time to time, including Ronald Colman and Joan Fontaine. Blake Edwards was among the writers and directors who contributed to the series. Edwards created the recurring character of illegal gambling house operator Willie Dante for Dick Powell to play on this series. The character was later revamped and spun off in his own series starring Howard Duff, then-husband of Lupino. The pilot for Meet McGraw, starring Frank Lovejoy, aired here, as did another episode in which Lovejoy recreated his role of Chicago newspaper reporter Randy Stone, from the radio drama Nightbeat.
