A very effective, chilling b-movie noir. The opening shots of a man waiting to be hung are amongst the best Frank Borzage ever filmed, steeped as they are in German Expressionism. Ethel Barrymore is, as she always is, suitably creepy. It falls apart a little in the last few minutes, and Dane Clark isn't always the most charasmatic of actors, but mostly this film succeeds, and succeeds well. Well worth seeking out, if you can.

A fine example of the film noir, with Ethel Barrymore in the cast. The protagonist is tortured by the fate of his father, who was hanged for murder. YouTube has a good print of it.

Laird J 12 Feb 2008

Great Southern Gothic / noir / romance. This could almost be mistaken for an early silent film (Murnau or Hitchcock spring to mind) in terms of dynamic Expressionist technique. Dane Clark is suitably tense with anger, as the man haunted by the hanging of his criminal father, who is potentially heading for the same fate. A great, stylish, cynical yet romantic melodrama.

Dennis Schwartz 10 Jan 2005

The film's beauty lies in Borzage's overpowering visual mise-en-scene.

Jake H 06 Mar 2008

Fine noirish drama, expertly crafted in typical fashion by Frank Borzage, with iinventive deep-shadow camera work by John L. Russell, later to photograph 'Psycho'. The overall quality of the production belies the film's low budget foundations; an 'A+' 'B' picture.
