剧情介绍
A dancer is pinned for murder after his shoe prints are found at the scene of the crime. His wife follows the trail of clues to the genuine killer.
Tom (Don Castle) and Ann (Elyse Knox) are a down-and-out dance team, and while Don seeks engagements, Ann works as an instructor at a dance academy, with Detective Judd (Regis Toomey) one of the many customers she meets. On a hot summer night Tom, awaken from his sleep, tosses his only pair of shoes out the window to quiet two noisy cats. He goes down to retrieve them and can't find them, but Ann discovers them in front of their door the next morning. A near-by recluse is found murdered in his old shack that same day while Tom finds a wallet filled with old $20 bills. Footprints, bearing an imprint like those on a tap-dancer's shoes, plus Don's new-found wealth combine to make a good circumstantial evidence case for Judd against Tom and he is convicted. On the night before his execution, Ann seeks Judd's help in proving Tom is innocent. He turns up a suspect, Kosloff (Robert Lowell), but an air-tight alibi clears him.
buzzer beater！
低劣悬疑电影。
5美元和Santa Claus的伏笔埋得轻巧自然，到警探真身露面时基本已确定他是栽赃陷害的真凶，但他努力奔波为男主洗脱嫌疑的行为又起到一定迷惑作用，最终靠一张愤怒时甩出的旧钞扭转局势有些仓促草率了，感觉像急着打出一个happy ending谢幕似的。女主虚荣、贪婪、愚蠢、无能，和同时期黑色电影的其他女性角色简直是云泥之别，甚至沦落到要靠美色换取援手的境地，完全被架空了主体性。相比之下，反而是死刑犯监狱里的肖邦更令人记忆犹新。
扔出窗外的鞋，捡到的钱包成了有心人陷害的证据。丈夫给妻子买的小糖果挺可爱的。
有点太依赖巧合了，如果男主不扔鞋出来呢……
紧张情绪+陷害模式：主线故事还算可以，为了替丈夫洗脱罪名，妻子想办法找证据。监狱的唱片机肖邦，鞋子砸猫，侦探是凶手。主要是没有营造氛围和情绪的镜头，节奏一般，氛围一般。
20220122周六 22:23 这凶手的确看着很讨人厌，就是为了得到她，可怕的跟踪狂行为！监狱里的每个囚犯心理和音乐的衬托诠释得不错。
乏善可陈。
6.5 3rd
2.5
虽然结尾有些仓促，但对于那个年代而已，已经是不错和优秀的作品，尤其死囚牢中肖邦的音乐，是最好的气氛衬托。
