Plot
A man searches for his lost love in a New Orleans brothel.
Sinekatalog’s take
Edward Dmytryk's melodrama has a drifter searching a New Orleans brothel for his lost love. Laurence Harvey, Jane Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck feature, and Saul Bass's title sequence of a prowling cat is the standout.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
