Country: US
Technical: bw 116m
Director: Vincente Minnelli

Synopsis:
A middle-aged spinster and daughter of a prominent scientist is courted and swept up by a businessman supplying parts to the US Air Force. However, she feels out of place in his world and drawn towards the penumbral figure of his estranged brother.
Review:
Neither Minnelli nor Hepburn are in their element with this noir-inflected thriller, and the script is too laboured for it not to show. Points of interest remain in the production design.
