A Freudian thriller from director Fritz Lang. Good performances from Michael Redgrave and Joan Bennett can't disguise the fact that it is a revamp of Hitchcock's Rebecca. The locked doors that Redgrave's character collects equate to the locked part of his mind which his newly wed bride (Bennett) can't reach. This atmospheric thriller is supported by chilling music written by the great Miklos Rosza and shimmering black and white cinematography by Sidney Cortez. Anne Revere and Barbara O'Neil support the leads effectively. An entertaining thriller that tends to get bogged down occasionally by too much psychiatric rhetoric.
score 6/10
