Review of The Second Woman (1950) by Orlok W — 16 Jan 2015
'The Second Woman' blends aspects of 'Rebecca' and 'Gaslight' into a savvy, neo-Gothic style, there's even an ultramodern, Manderley-like pile of memories high above the crashing ocean.
.. The Pine Cliff Paranoia--"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderly again..." Wait, wrong movie. "Today," Ellen Foster tells us, "I looked upon the cliff where Hilltop stood. I can still see its hanging roofs against the Cyprus trees.
But Hilltop is no more. There is only a scar of jutting rock where once its windows glittered in the California sun."... An Intelligent "B" Mystery-Gothic elements enhance superior psychological thriller!!
