Black Widow

Robert Ayres shows up at the home of John Longden, with scalp wounds and suffering from amnesia. After he is physically recovered, he heads off to investigate and at a Stately Home discovers a coffin. His memory comes rushing back and he realizes it is his name and that woman is Christine Norden, his wife. She puts him to bed. The next morning, she tells him the doctor says he's to stay abed for the day. So he's puzzled to look out the window and see the funeral cortege moving ahead, and Miss Norden weeping at the graveside.

Mr. Ayres was a successful actor in Great Britain. He hailed from Michigan originally, with a voice and manner that suggested Van Johnson and a saturnine appearance and demeanor.

This movie moves along at a swift pace, and although it is competently played at all times, there isn't much that's surprising in its upper-class British manner. Still, it's brief enough to be watchable.
