I stumbled on this title and found its description fascinating (A young girl marries a murderer and later, as a shady songstress in a nightclub, is forced to help him escape). The reviews of it is are not encouraging though. I'm still interested though because the credits are stellar (Robert Siodmak, Herman Manciewics, based on Somerset Maugham, with Durbin, Gene Kelly and Gale Sondergaard), and Hans Salter got an Oscar nomination out of it. Anybody seen it? I've never seen a Deanna Durbin picture, so I question if this is a good place to start.

Hans can be seen conducting Wagner's Liebstod in a concert scene early in the picture. Not a typical Durbin picture, by any means, if you're looking to start exploring her work, but well worth it on its own.

We shall reserve judgement until it's been re-visited. I want a full report, soldier.

I just saw it on YouTube. A bit overripe, even for a noir. Great song, though!
