 Film historian Daniel Bubbeo, while unhappy with the film's similarities to "Gaslight" and "Suspicion", praises the scene in which Bogart, in terrifying makeup, crashes through a window to attack Stanwyck.Similarities to other, better films are noticeable in "The Two Mrs. Carrolls".At least one observer has pointed out that the scene in which Bogart climbs a set of stairs to bring Stanwyck a glass of poisoned milk is almost identical to a scene in "Suspicion".
