A great looking claustrophobic b-movie with the gaunt Widmark compressing layers of, at turns, aggression, passion and menace in this tale of stolen film. Thelma Ritter almost steals the show in a supporting role, but the plot sometimes stutters and eventually tails off so abruptly that you feel it could have had another half hour to go.
