Synopsis: A man agrees to assist in the faked kidnapping of the daughter of a millionaire. But everything and everyone may not be exactly what it seems.
Appraisal: Entertaining noirish thriller, based on the 1961 novel "Just Another Sucker" by James Hadley Chase. Its plot is very similar to other stories of the genre, with the femme fatale, the ex-con, some plot twists, and so on. Formally, this one favors a straightforward rendering of the story over the atmospheric or overdramatized styles that were common in other films of this genre.
