It was a fatal decision !
A young musician but no smart guy decides in a rainy night to hitchike . But the fate will appear in his life turning his existence in a real hell . These random agressions will lead us to a passionate and brilliant film noir .Edgar Ulmer made to my mind, his glorious masterpiece with this work which I guess influenced decisively to Louis Malle to make eleven years after Elevator to the Gallows .The particular charm of this film is that somehow the movie overcomes the genre and becomes a tragic play with all its sinister ugliness.One of the twelve top noir films in any age !
