Query: Correct . As written elsewhere , a lot more melodrama than noir

But also correct , pretty good . This is an excellent , not to mention handsome and VERY lovely cast , set loose on a pretty compelling story . I'd never heard of this film prior to seeing it yesterday . Heflin's gal is an absolute KNOCKOUT and the story will hook you early and often as well . It was interesting to see Kirk Douglas NOT get top billing . He's quite young here , as are the whole troup . Others have doubtlessly written very well regarding the plot and so forth . It's flawed and occasionally unintentionally amusing . The film is also pretty darn gripping . I'd buy a copy . Check it out .
