剧情简介
Walter Williams (Brian Donlevy) is a take-charge captain of industry who has worked his way up in a San Francisco steel company from a position as a sheet metal worker. He loves his wife Irene (Helen Walker) very much and they have planned a vacation drive together. Irene cancels at the last minute claiming a toothache, but asks that Walter drive her cousin Jim Torrance (Tony Barrett) as far as Illinois. Walter agrees and he and Jim take off together but later Jim knocks Walter unconscious and takes the car only to be hit himself by a truck and killed, his body burned beyond recognition. Walter comes to and suffering a concussion and deep confusion from feeling betrayed by Irene hides out in a small Midwest town until guilt and peer pressure force him to go back to San Francisco and tell his story to the Police. But by the time Walter returns to San Francisco a clever detective Lieutenant Quincy (Charles Coburn) has uncovered some facts about Irene and her cousin' Jim. The police have been holding Irene for the murder of her husband Walter but release her considering that Walter was hiding out because he had killed Jim. Along the way to uncovering the truth in Court Walter realizes some hard fact about what he holds valuable and the trust he has put in those around him.
观众心声
中段较为拖沓，几个女性角色写得有戏，Helen Walker的角色自以为聪明、却无力的狡辩，看来最有趣
这男主略惨，这么爱老婆，却被他老婆和情夫谋害，没谋害成还被倒打一耙。黄柳霜没几场戏不过发挥了关键作用
剧情还挺经典的。小镇真的好可爱，一群可爱善良的人。回去后的反转好喜欢，喜欢女一的人设，太精明了，女二性格太讨喜了，谁能拒绝这样一个可爱善良的女孩子呢！结果还埋了一个伏笔，也挺有意思的。
乏味，反而有点喜欢小镇那一段
作为黑色电影并不是很典型。还是当作正剧来看吧，反转的情节没什么惊喜感和设计感。甚至透露出了一丝温情。
