Good cinematography, silly ending, some scenes dated even

good cinematography, silly ending, some scenes dated even for 40s period, but setting tropes for next hundred years of thrillers

I understand that in most film noirs one

I understand that in most film noirs one must accept specific actions by some characters which may not make much sense. However, there are simply too many instances in this film to make the story even close to being acceptable. John Marlow (Franchot Tone) murders his business partner's wife on the night of their anniversary; a night Scott Henderson (Alan Curtis) has planned in advance with dinner and the theater. After a feud with this wife Scott walks into a bar, meets a young woman (Ann Terry) wearing a very strange hat, and invites her to join him at the theater -- which she does. The woman demands that neither of them know the other person's name. While at the theater a member of the orchestra (Elisha Cook Jr.) makes eye contact with the young woman, attempting to come-on to her -- quite ridiculous! After parting with the unnamed woman Scott returns home and learns from three of the most over-acted detectives that his wife was murdered. Since Scott's only alibi is the woman with no name he is tried, convicted, and put on death row. Carol Richman (Ella Raines), Scott's secretary is out to prove his innocence. However, huge questions are unanswered. How did John get in contact with the bartender to lie about Alan and the unknown woman meeting there? How did the killer get in contact with Elisha Cook, Jr. How did he know about the unknown woman's hat? Too many unknown questions for me. The story doesn't make any sense at all.

Ella Raines is nice to look at, but

Ella Raines is nice to look at, but she's not much of an actress. Elisha Cook is a talented actor, but he delivers what is probably the worst pantomime drum performance in cinematic history. Still, the story is a good one, Siodnak's direction is excellent, and I loved the cinematography.
