Exciting finale. Joseph Cotton to the rescue. Can't see this being revived too much as Ingrid Bergman is such a doormat. She does have one final scene in which--as Boyer assures her she wasn't imagining anything--she pretends she can't find the knife to free him, etc. while the police wait outside for him. Boyer's rage is excellent, and Bergman's facial expressiveness is unmatched.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
