Dúvida
Assistant Director
Baseado livremente na história da vida real do Dr. Crippen, este filme é um pequeno tesouro de suspense criminal, com fortes lances de film-noir. É dirigido por um dos maiores mestres do noir, Robert Siodmak, outro alemão da escola expressionista, fugido do nazismo. Este é um melodrama sem maiores complexidades, mas belamente dirigido. É baseado na novela This Way Out, de James Ronald, tem muitas semelhanças com o caso do Dr. Crippen que foi acusado em 1910 de ter assassinado sua esposa e fugido para o Canadá com sua amante. Charles Laughton, como sempre, está soberbo em sua interpretação, valorizando a direção de Siodmak e transformando seu trabalho em verdadeira obra de um mestre.
