Review of Secret Beyond the Door (1947) by Jason M — 28 Feb 2008

A freudian tale of love and obsession. the constant narration in this film is annoying and superfluous, seemingly only there to serve as an aggrandizement of the otherwise tepid scenes. the story grows in strength as it continues though, with michael redgrave giving a truly chilling portrayal of mark.

the whole film feels a little melodramatic, but it has some merits. points for the score and cinematography.
