I had never heard of this film or of Director Harry Horner. The only reason I watched it was Jean Peters, certainly one of the most beautiful women I have ever had the privilege to watch on screen.
Although not particularly imaginative or original, VICKI offers a whodunnit with a strong psychological component. Direction by Horner is admirable, extracting superb performances from Boone and Reid. Peters is stunningly beautiful, actually sings (and does it well, too!) but her part is short. Crain comes across as a steady but unremarkable performer.
Quite liked the script with the typical flashbacks of the time, and with interesting motivations for the murder.
The B&W photography deserves every plaudit.
Recommended!
