Synopsis

Bogart plays a man convicted of murdering his wife who escapes from prison in order to prove his innocence. Bogart finds that his features are too well known, and is forced to seek some illicit backroom plastic surgery. The entire pre-knife part of the film is shot from a Bogart's-eye-view, with us seeing the fugitive for the first time as he starts to recuperate from the operation in the apartment of a sympathetic young artist (Bacall) for whom he soon finds affection. But what he's really after is revenge.

Critics' reviews

"An odd, atmospheric 1947 thriller."

Jonathan Rosenbaum: Chicago Reader
"The story is involving, the atmosphere is as starkly noir as anything Bogart participated in, and the dynamic between the leads is as conspicuous as ever."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
