Political noir based on Faust sees Ray Milland as the Mephistophelean title character easing District Attorney Thomas Mitchell down the slippery slope of moral compromise (if not quite into femme fatale Audrey Totter's arms or the governor's office). Director John Farrow keeps things suitably foggy but the result is not quite dark enough and the ending is pretty weird.
