and cloak and dagger.
Lots of talking and an over reliance of flashbacks lessened the film. I liked Lorre and Greenstreet's performances, but the story wasn't all that interesting. 6/10 is my rating.
One of those movies made on a studio backlot with two character actors playing co lead role (Lorre and Greenstreet). The movie needed a bigger name. The flashbacks and cloak and dagger are a bit much at times. Zachary Scott in his first movie is forgettable. I didn't recognize any of the other actors in this. The plot did get better as the movie went along. 6/10
