Linda Darnell isn't that great of an actress but it doesn't matter she oozes sex and is very charismatic as the bored waitress on the make. Alice Faye is dull as usual . The worst though is Dana Andrews. He's usually mediocre but here because he occupies so much scream time, he becomes down right irritating. I agree with fellow reviewer dougdoepke, he is possibly the most annoying central character in any noir I've seen. About as welcome as a gnat at a campsite , yet somehow the women just fall for him. Give me Bob Mitchum or even Fred MacMurry over the listless Andrews. Doesn't help that he's in almost every scene in the movie.
