Novel James M. Cain. adapted by Ranald MacDougall, with a host of contract writers including - allegedly - William Faulkner.
Joan Crawford, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott, Eve Arden, Ann Blyth (one of Hollywood's nastiest bitches) and (uncredited) Butterfly McQueen, who Ernest Haller would have worked with on GWTW. Seriously well shot drama-noir: it's so well lit because they had to light everything, and the great artists like Haller lit artistically and emotionally. And is every Max Steiner film great?
Still, would rather watch Classic Warner Bros film when not seeing double, in future
