Movie Info

Steven Kenet (Robert Taylor) has been blacking out, which is particularly problematic because he has been convicted of a crime he thinks he did not commit -- murdering his wife. Afraid that brain surgery will allow his accusers to decree him insane, Kenet instead is sent to a mental hospital. At the hospital, Dr. Ann Lorrison (Audrey Totter) falls for Kenet. But after initially believing his story, she starts to doubt whether her patient, the man she loves, is innocent after all.

A tepid and chatty psychological melodrama.

Audience Reviews for High Wall

Jan 27, 2021

So often I commend beautifully shot movies, and this one is certainly one of them, cinematography by Paul Vogel, but I rarely acknowledge the people who are responsible for giving the lensman something interesting to shoot. So, kudos to this movie's art directors, Cedric Gibbons and Leonid Vasian; and, set decorator Edwin B. Willis. The film itself is enjoyable and the leads, Robert Taylor and Audrey Totter, are fabulous. There are, however, a couple of glaring plot points that don't work. Nonetheless... enjoy!
