This was one of those noir films that made me wonder why the director had tried to cram what could of been a full length story into just over an hour's worth of screen time. Julia Ross applies for a job working as a live-in secretary for a widow in a large, old house in Cornwall. The agent tells her she must move in that night, but when she awakes the next day all her things have disappeared and the members of the house are referring to her by another name. Despite the fact she knows exactly who she is the family try to convince her that she is the widow's daughter in law and is suffering from a nervous breakdown. She is trapped with no way out.
Not a bad film, but the ending doesn't really tie up all the loose ends that have been flailing around throughout the movie.
