[A] gem... Here, Sirk reunites with Claudette Colbert, who previously starred in his noir Sleep, My Lovely.

Minor, but nonetheless fascinating, work of Sirk.

The whole thing is solemn and perfunctory, when all is said and done, and it leaves one wondering upon what sort of evidence that poor girl was originally condemned.
