The whole thing is solemn and perfunctory, when all is said and done, and it leaves one wondering upon what sort of evidence that poor girl was originally condemned.

Minor, but nonetheless fascinating, work of Sirk.

TV Guide
A pouring rainstorm keeps the drama properly claustrophobic, and Sirk handles the conventions of the mystery with characteristic finesse.

Description by OLDIES.com:
A nun (Claudette Colbert) races against time to prove the innocence of a convicted murderess (Ann Blyth) who is being escorted to prison for a date with the gallows in Thunder on the Hill. Based on the popular British play Bonaventure, this moody mystery serves up many twists and is distinguished by one of Claudette Colberts most intriguing and least-known performances. In addition to Douglas Sirks fast-paced direction, the film is enriched by Hans J. Salters stirring dramatic score, a first rate supporting cast and the luminous black and white cinematography of William H. Daniels, who helped immortalize the screen personas of Greta Garbo and Norma Shearer during his MGM period.
