This sometimes terrifying tale of a young widow who remarries, only to find that her new husband is a homicidal maniac, continued Doris Day's breakaway from musicals, and her appointments with fear that culminated in Midnight Lace. It was made by Andrew Stone, then a young director specialising in high-tension thrillers shot on location, such as The Night Holds Terror, The Steel Trap, Cry Terror and The Last Voyage, before he started making such overblown musicals as Song of Norway and The Great Waltz. This one, though, gets too melodramatic for its own good before the end.
