Not bad, with a number of plot twists and some similarities to Othello—which Orson Welles was apparently working on in his own film as well. Apparently, it is a remake and was innovative in the early 20th century, but already somewhat overtaken by Agatha Christie and Hitchcock and the like in the 50s.
I personally found the denouement entertaining – the romance at the end, however, completely illogical, but oh well.
