Comment
A policeman (Dana Andrews) investigates the death of a woman (Gene Tierney) and builds up a picture of her by interviewing the witnessess. He starts to be attracted to her and then things take a strange turn when he discovers that she is not dead and the body is another woman. This is a well constructed murder mystery with good performances from Dana Andrews as the policeman and Gene Tierney as the victim. This is one of the classic FIlm Noir films.
