Audrey Totter pulls out all the stops portraying her ultimate “bad girl,” the vile voluptuary Claire Quimby, in one of the most underrated noir films of the forties. Richard Basehart plays a milquetoast pharmacist married to the oversexed and chronically unfaithful Claire. But this sad sack has a plan to get revenge. (Note courtesy of Noir City.)
