Well-structured But Gets A Bit Cluttered

In this suspenseful movie, we meet James Mason as he lectures about crime to a group of students. He is an eminent neurologist. In flashback, we learn of the girl whose eyesight he's saved. In the course of doing this, he fell in hove with her mother.

It's a murder-mystery; so that's as much plot as I'll give. Pamela Mason is appropriately unappealing as the woman's nosy sister-in-law. Mason, one of my favorite actors, is very good.

As a suspense movie -- a noir, of sorts -- it is excellent. It positions itself as more, unfortunately. Initially, it's intriguing to realize that the central figure in the case history Mason's reciting is himself. But there are red herrings. More distracting, there is philosophizing -- not to mention a most unsatisfactory final scene.

Curiosidades
Pamela Kellino, who played Kate Howard, was credited under her previous married name. Her name at this time was Pamela Mason as she was the then-wife of James Mason. They had met on the set of "Troubled Waters" (1935), and her husband, Roy Kellino, was the cinematographer on that film. The three became close friends, and Mason moved in with the couple. The Kellinos were divorced in 1940 with Mason named as co-respondent. Mason and Kellino were married in 1941.

Pifias
Michael Joyce pushed an unconscious woman out of a second-story window after she dropped the room key. She plummeted to the concrete steps below, yet there's not a drop of blood anywhere.

Citas
Dr. Farrell: The vessel which we normal people use for imbibing experience is a stout austerity model, which doesn't crack. With others, like yourself, the glass, though of superior design, cracks quite easily. Now, instead of leaving it upturned on the shelf, a danger to all, it should be thrown away.
