A professor becomes involved in a murder after meeting a woman in a portrait.
Sinekatalog’s take
Fritz Lang's noir has a mild professor entangled in murder after meeting a portrait's model. Edward G. Robinson is excellent, and the tight plot and debated twist ending make it a compact, clever thriller.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
