NOTES B/W.

Crime story in which Lupino plays blind woman, Mary (as I

remember she became blind later in life through an 'act of

heroism'). She has a brother who has learning difficulties.

Robert Ryan is a tough cop from the city sent to the rural area

where Mary lives after a young girl has been murdered.

Mary's brother is a suspect.

It's quite funny at the beginning because it seems to take

Ryan's character ages to realise she is blind.

Apparently Lupino's character is not totally blind.
