Reilly, Dorothy Coonan, and Yolanda Lacca. Note that Mitchum was barely mentioned (and not pictured) on any of the original advertising for this movie. A few years later, in 1949, when it was re-released (after Mitchum had become a huge star), it was promoted as a Robert Mitchum starring movie, and Mitchum's image took the place of Meredith's on the posters!
