"Ellen" (Betsy Drake) is visiting her family on the coast when she is introduced to their neighbour "Jeff" (Robert Young) who lives in one of those concrete new-builds that wouldn't look out of place in an episode of "Thunderbirds"! They take a bit off a shine to each other, but after a while she learns that he is rather accident prone. Sometimes little things, sometimes - well you wouldn't want him to drive you anywhere! What's behind this mystery? It's told using a mix of real time and flashback, so the ultimate jeopardy is a little compromised from the outset, and Young is just too lightweight to carry this drama. It has a few moments of genuine suspense though, Michael Curtiz does manage that; but for the most part it is all just a bit too much like serendipity is in a very bad mood with "Jeff". Not terrible, but you are unlikely to remember it afterwards.
