The dreary story is about as exciting as sitting at a railroad station to watch the trains go by. Go to Full Review Brandon Judell CultureCatch Aug 14, 2013

This solid adaptation embraces Simenon's favorite archetype, an innocent who mistakenly thinks he's committed some evil act, and then eventually actually does. . . . A little thriller that's worth every one of the 82 minutes you'll spend with it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alain E @AlainE May 19, 2025 A convoluted story with unclear ending. It benefits from nice early color cinematography and the presence of Marta Toren. See more Steve D @RT35616104 Jan 23, 2024 Rains is solid, the film is not. See more Feb 1, 2021 A movie with good intentions, this one may have left too much on the cutting room floor to glue together the character motivations and make a solid narrative. Claude Rains is always a charismatic performer and the cast was solid, but the character's are clearly driven by the plot, which flattens the overall experience. Probably not worth your time.
