A slick remake of the classic forties noir 'I Wake Up Screaming' with a forties 'psychological' score and a forties flashback structure (one of the flashbacks revealing to the audience what the person telling the flashback would not himself have noticed).
In the Laird Cregar role as the malevolent, permanently hatted detective Richard Boone is aptly described as "the vulture", while the Elisha Cook role is played by future TV mogul Aaron Spelling. (Ironically in real life Good Sister Jeanne Crain led a very sedate private life, while Bad Sister Jean Peters soon gave up acting to marry Howard Hughes.)
