When in doubt, start punching folks!

Rip Reardon (Philip Carey) is a guy who has a strange disorder...disappearing and reappearing leg syndrome! I say this because throughout the story, the one-legged man limps in some scenes and not in others!

Regardless, Rip's back from the war and when he returns home to see his wife, she is freshly dead. The police say it was suicide but Rip knows it must have been murder. So, for the rest of the film, Rip runs about punching people until he learns the truth!

The bottom line is that this murder mystery isn't very mysterious and the acting is generally poor. It is, at best, a time-passer and is a bland film which is easy to skip as well.

What a beautiful singing voice Pier Angeli had! Her acting is this movie is terrific also!

I loved this movie very much. I bought it just to hear Pier Angeli sing. I give her 10 stars just for her voice alone. She captures your attention from the moment she enters the picture till the very end. I do remember that the film has Pier Angeli portraying a singer who is wrongly convicted of murder. I loved her conviction in the scene where she pleads with one gentlemen who is an authoritative figure in the film that she didn't kill the woman. I believed her.

This movie should be sold in large quantities on Amazon.com and other websites that sell old movies. It is a shame that I had to buy it off someone on Ebay.

This is definitely one of Pier Angeli's best roles. It is my favorite without a doubt.

When a thriller has two songs in the opening quarter of an hour you know you are going to have a problem.Add to this a very bland leading man and you have a recipe for boredom.Additionally the climax is a real letdown.So the only real plus is the excellent colour cinematography.James Haynes features for once as a villain.

Cosmopolitan cast, several of whom are wasted

The cosmopolitan cast caught my eye and while some of them went on to bigger things several were wasted. Despite third billing, Dennis Price didn't have too much to do, and Anthony Newley in his two appearances was annoying. It was good to Eugene Deckers in a bigger role than usual and James Hayter playing against type as a sleazy club owner.

It took a while for the plot to get going, not helped by the singing and dancing in the club early on. But the film did turn into a reasonable who-done-it, set in exotic locations.

Philip Carey's bad limp miraculously disappeared halfway through the film, and I could not help laughing when he asked Newley if he could fix the plane that had just been damaged in a crash landing.

Appalling

This film I am afraid has not stood the test of time. I would like to say I can remember the plot but I would be lying. I am sure the actors were great but I cannot remember.

The story takes place in mid-July 1945 but all of the women's hair styles and clothing are strictly 1956; there's even a 1950s Chevrolet station wagon prominently featured in one sequence.
