The old lady in the downstairs apartment is the absolute goods. Fine plot device.

Loved the Willie character also.
Gary Merrill was great as the gangster.
Gene Tierney was a bit bland.
Andrews was an underrated actor.

Give Tierney a break. She could barely hold it together then, and was already well into the mental illness that would

Yes, Merrill recognizes a path to righteous thru the pathology of Andrews. & right away.

Yes, Tierney looked off kilter. Maybe [bennett] ABOVE is right. Did not know that materiel.
