Una trama decentemente desarrollada, durante la cual no te aburres ni un segundo, pero cuyo remate final funciona de alguna manera a medio gas. En comparación con las mejores películas de Alfred Hitchcock, Pánico en la escena se queda corta en términos de dirección, pero dentro del género y de su época, está bastante por encima de la media. Buena actuación de Jane Wyman. Marlene Dietrich actúa de manera muy exagerada.

This film was literally "made" by two songs performed by Marlene Dietrich, "The Laziest Gal in Town" (lyrics by Cole Potter) and "La vie en rose" (lyrics by Édith Piaf), whether you like it or not. Hitchcock's films are by no means just imbued with only his personality. Or those unreliable narrator-type improvements. But even in her day, it was mistakenly hoped that Jane Wyman could make it alongside Marlene. Well, that was a naive idea. It's not 'cause I wouldn't / It's not 'cause I shouldn't, honey / And, you know, that it's not 'cause I couldn't / It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town...

This film is at times too convoluted for my taste, and I think it's also a bit longer than necessary, but it's still fun and the surprise ending is really impressive. An amazing Marlene Dietrich and an excellent score (if I didn't know it was composed by Leighton Lucas, I would have guessed early Bernard Herrmann).
