  Saw it just the other week.
  
  It's fantastic -- has some terrific acting (even with Loretta Young, who I think is too old for the part and gives more of an histrionic performance than an actual acting one) and is very well paced.

    It also has a good performance by Edward G Robinson in it

      Yes! He is great! Subtle, low key, but powerful. A good balance between the hystrionics of the damsel in distress and the madness of the villain.

        What I liked about Robinson's performance was he gave the viewer the impression that he/she was sharing his thought processes as an investigator. Neat.
