Cornell Wilde seems the best kind of earnest liberal, a well liked parole officer who goes above and beyound for his clients. Patricia Knight is a gorgouse muderess for whom Wilde goes even more beyound, getting her a job as his blind mothers live in help, because he just knows he can save her, and did I mention she's gorgouse.
The two stars were married at the time of filming. Interesting as blend of the styles of melodramest director Douglas Sirk and hard boiled writer Samuel Fuller. Unfortunately the blend dose not gell and the movie works less and less well the longer it's goes on. I just didn't find Knight's falling for Wilde convincing, nor the extent to which Wilde was willing to f-up his life for Knight. Movie was okay going in but by the end I was hating it. *
