Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Orson Welles's 1946 film reproduces his personal themes of self-scrutiny and self-destruction only in outline, though it is an inventive, highly enjoyable thriller.
– Dave Kehr,

rotten:
The whole film, produced by S. P. Eagle, comes off a bloodless, manufactured show.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
25 Mar 2006
fresh:
Welles' third film, often described as his worst, but still a hugely enjoyable thriller.
– Derek Adams,
Time Out,
9 Feb 2006
fresh:
Adroitly directed by Orson Welles, who also plays the star, it is a grade A gooseflesh-raiser.
