nick s @Nick_S Mar 29, 2024 The cast was good and the production quality fine. However some scenes were a bit stagey and the ending kind of floundered. See more Martin B @RT44235356 Feb 14, 2023 Great ending but you have to pay your dues to get there. First one character has to convince another that his nightmare is real to no avail. Then the other character convincing the first that he committed a murder but to no avail. Finally, they get on the same page and it gets interesting, very interesting. Edward G. the investigator one of his best character types. Kevin McCarthy character very confused about what's happening, very much like Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Eddie G. is in a less ambiguously benevolent role this time around, although the supernatural themes stretch credibility only slightly less than in Night Has a Thousand Eyes. McCarthy came off as a little broad at first, although it was appropriate to the early flashbacks. Once he starts butting heads with Robinson, however, this contrast and the plot's explanation of his state level things out quite a bit. The New Orleans and surrounding area locations are used well, even with a conventional degree of rear-projected exteriors for specific shots. Meade 'Lux' Lewis' cameo is unfortunately tiny, and the otherwise fine music is used as a character backdrop and to provide local color rather than being well integrated.

The plot wasn't exactly out of the ordinary but it was perfect for suspense and it was very Hitchcockian as far as the cinematography went. I didn't spot any outstanding acting, but everyone played their parts well. Edward G. Robinson played a good cop for once, and I about lost it when he stole the duck leg at the end, hilarious!
