Made after the first flush of Moore's early success, which began in the early fifties for the thick end of a decade, this was shot when he could barely get arrested so that parallels with Chick Byrd and Kenneth Moore are not too hard to find. This is Moore flaunting his 'serious' acting chops and is suffused with melancholy whilst boasting a half-decent supporting cast. Overall it is neither fish nor fowl and perhaps the adjective that best fits is 'interesting'.
