Fritz Lang's production and direction ably project the sordid tale of the romance betwen a milquetoast character and a gold-diggering blonde. Script (based on the French novel and play La Chienne by Georges la Fouchardiere) is tightly-written by Dudley Nichols and is played for sustained interest and suspense by the cast.
Edward G. Robinson is the mild cashier and amateur painter whose love for Joan Bennett leads him to embezzlement, murder and disgrace. Two stars turn in top work to keep the interest high, and Dan Duryea's portrayal of the crafty and crooked opportunist whom Bennett loves is a stand-out in furthering the melodrama.
