A tidy, direct, edge-of-the seat romantic thriller. Ayres is good, as always, and Day is fine. The other star-billed player is a bit of cheat, as we don't see him till the final 15 minutes or so; but it's OK.
This movie recalls "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" and presages "North By northwest": The supposedly crazy, or at least uninformed, people are the good guys; while the bad guy is the one looked up to by the general populace.
