This is without a doubt one of the finest noir I have seen, recently. Superb investigation drama and murder mystery supplied by a lucid screenplay. Cinematography is magnificent, through the use of shadows, portrayals and objects it is quite a magnificent achievement even on usual film-noir standards. Movie is not just a plain mystery but a multidimensional drama bound with love, passion and obsession. Great suspense as well, it came off like a huge shock way before I could start any guessing. This Otto Preminger's masterpiece stands tall on performances as well. Dana Andrews and Clifton Webb brilliantly played their parts and Gene Tierney was just fabulous to watch. I fell in love with her as well. In one word, it's a gem. Made my day.
