Yes it wasn't a bad film. But a choice between this and 'Rebecca' would have me clasping on to the latter. Very noir-like although I'm not sure that this is actually considered a film noir. It's more a psychological thriller. There are many similarities to 'Rebecca' however and it's fun to try to spot them. A scary house, mysterious first wife, a past that no one will talk about, a tormented and mentally anguished man, and an inexplicable terror of a winding road.
Betsy Drake is the lead star, and although she comes across as far too sugary sweet for my liking she does harden a bit towards the end. Robert Young is the disturbed man who falls for her despite the horrific secret he harbours.
Anyone who has seen 'Rebecca' will know the main parts of the story and will probably guess the ending.
