"This is quite a stylish suspense, which would not have been the same if not in black and white. George Sanders portrays a middle-aged man losing his head for a mercantile young temptress (a very good performance by Corinne Calvet), and finding himself driven into a series of cold-blooded murders. Sanders makes the film what it is with his convincing portrayal of an obsessed and relentless character. If not for the dull ending, this would have been a great film noir; however, it does not live up to Sanders' charismatic and sarcastic appearance, which seems to be squeezed into a predictable..."
💡 Did You Know?
A very inaccurate version of the Landru case, ignoring the fact that Landru had a wife and child whom he supported (and to whom he gave every sign of being devoted) throughout the quite lengthy period of his career as a serial killer of wealthy women. The Corinne Calvet character has no equivalent in real life. George Sanders is quite as dapper as the real Landru famously was, but looks nothing like him - Landru was a man of below average height, almost completely bald and with a spade beard. Many commentators on the case have wondered what it was that made this suave but unattractive man so successful with women. Claude Chabrol's film about him, a few years later, was a far more accurate portrait.
