      • Sep 21, 2018
        Betsy Drake and Robert Young as a possible romantic couple haunted by the death (the previous year) of his fiancee in an auto accident. Maybe the townsfolk are right when they suggest that he might've been driven bonkers? Shades of Hitchcock's Rebecca haunt this psycho-drama as well as Tchaikovski's 2nd Concerto. And the waves pounding the shoreline ... is there any wonder about the man's sanity? And the woman, could she be in danger? Decent, if not a memorable thriller.

        Solid little pyschological drama. Taking into account that the view of the mind and it's workings has changed since this was made it's still an entertaining film. Young is fine in the lead and the supporting cast is strong, it would have benefitted from a more forceful leading lady. Betsy Drake isn't bad she just doesn't possess a potent screen persona that compels you to watch her like Gloria Grahame or Lauren Bacall did.
