7/10

U will forget Marvel's Maximus after seeing the psychic powers of the Maximus in this film.

I saw this few days back on a dvd. The print n sound wasnt that great. The film is about a fake clairvoyant (Claude Rains - The invisible man) who is able to tell about things blindfolded as he is assisted by his devoted wife (Fay Wray - first scream queen) who gives him hidden clues. The fake psychic suddenly turns into a genuine one whenever he is close to Christine... There is romantic angle, drama, off-screen disasters like train n mining accidents n courtroom trial. Rains' eye expressions during psychic visions were laughable. Warning, it is not a horror film.

Storyline

Edit

Goofs
A witness at the trial is asked for her opinion. She quite properly replies that she is not possessed of sufficient knowledge to answer, but the prosecutor insists on her opinion, and the judge backs him up. Counsel are not permitted to ask a witness for an opinion, and in these circumstances it is even more obviously wrong.

Quotes
Maximus: Darling, you're being rather childish.
Rene: It's only because I love you rather a lot.

Alternate versions
Scratchy multi-generation prints shown on TV under the title The Evil Mind are from a 68 min. reissue with different titles than the British original.
