Goofs:
Factual errors: As is so often the case in film and TV (and I'm not sure why this is), the chess board -- which must always have a white square in the lower right corner where each person's rook (castle) is initially placed -- is positioned incorrectly, with a dark square in the lower right corner. Thus, kings and queens are not on their correct color. more

For Robert Mitchum fans, it is a must see film!, 4 December 1998
Author: Steve Richmond (sfwr@earthlink.net) from Brea, Ca. 92821

Robert Mitchum and Jean Simmons give great performances in this deliberate but interesting drama about a beautiful woman who is not what she seems. The ending will surprise and shock you. I saw this film in 1953 as a young boy and can remember it like it was yesterday. It has a way of sticking with you. Leon Ames,Herbert Marshall, Barbara O'Neil, and Jim Backus (voice of Mr. Magoo) round out a nice cast.
