OmU | Ein Seemann verliebt sich in eine verführerische blonde Frau, die ihm zum Verhängnis wird. Produzent Harry Cohn gab Orson Welles keine Kontrolle über den final cut. »Instead of allowing me to get a composer who would work with me, Cohn snuck in some fast fellow who put terrible music wherever he felt like it. I didn’t mind the theme song, but the incidental music was clumsily handled throughout. For example, the mirror scene at the end should have been absolutely silent except for the crashing glass and ricocheting bullets.« (Orson Welles)
