Kind of a "noir lite". The elements are there, but everything is toned down a notch. The mood is a bit too lighthearted... and occasionally just plain goofy. Lake is alluring but she never really digs into the role. Ladd is okay as the hitman anti-hero. The cinematography is at times evocative, but mostly too flat or too sunny. The story feels oddly paced. And yet, it kinda sorta satisfies. It's fun while still maintaining some level of darkness, and it'll scratch a noir itch in a pinch.

This movie is a lot more "out there" than you expect of a movie this age. Alan Ladd is very convincing and kinda scary
