I've seen this compared to Double Indemnity a lot. There are some similarities, but there are plenty of differences too. It's a reasonably engaging story, but the dialogue lacks pizzazz. The direction also seems flat, especially in comparison to Wilder's work. And the leads aren't that great, either. Garfield isn't a guy you root for like Macmurray, and Turner isn't a gal you secretly root for like Stanwyck. But it's a solid noir picture, with a notable supporting performance from Cronyn.
