根据新闻事件拍成的惊险犯罪片，导演理查德·弗莱舍以半纪录片方式处理本片。剧情描述六十年代，波士顿出了一名色魔，四处肆虐女人，手段极为残忍，不少妇女都死于他的手下，令全城为之震惊。本片有些片段以分割银幕同时交代凶手行凶时室内与室外的情况，技巧的尝试颇为大胆，但并非完全成功。亨利·方达、托尼·柯蒂斯等都有出色的表演。

20世纪40年代，海内外都笼罩在战争的阴影之中，就被奴役和占领的华夏大地更是一片疮痍。善良而美丽的普通上海女工金妹（上官云珠 饰），在回家的路上遭受日寇欺凌。危难时刻她得到爱国青年孟南（周峰 饰）和李新群（黄宗英 饰）的救助。但这一事件给她带来巨大的阴影，金妹被厂方无情解雇，丈夫又遭到流氓毒打失明。苦难的生活逼迫她走向社会的最黑暗角落。另一方面，孟、李二人的朋友梁若英（沙莉 饰）此前与丈夫章玉良（赵丹 饰）离婚，另嫁他人过起养尊处优的太太生活。现在的丈夫投敌叛国，与孟、李他们截然对立，若英也面临重要的选择。本片根据田汉的同名话剧改编。

Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
