1941 must have been the greatest year in movies... CItizen Kane, of course, and this little flick too! submitted by Tassos on May 7, 2021, 8:18pm Watched this 40 years ago, maybe once again 20 years ago, and now on my 55" Smart TV. Few movies from the 40s are watchable today. This one is an exception. Very well played and directed. Not even close to Kane, of course, but OK.

A Classic submitted by SaraP on July 26, 2022, 1:08pm This is such a great movie. The mystery is tight and compelling w/ fantastic twists and fantastic acting and writing.
