As the director of a mental hospital prepares for departure upon being told he is being replaced, a young man arrives to take the position. This man claims to be Doctor Anthony Edwardes. He is immediately fond of Doctor Constance Petersen, a seemingly cold-hearted woman who is solely focused on her work As the two get to know each other, Edwardes reveals that he is convinced that he killed a man. He is also suffering from amnesia after an accident. Doctor Petersen is convinced otherwise, and the two jump through various hoops in order to not only prove that Edwardes is innocent, but to convince Edwardes that he didn't commit a murder As Constance seeks to help him, , the two discover that Edwardes is not Edwardes, but is actually named John Ballantine. Aside from discovering his identity, they also prove Constance's theory correct when it is discovered that Ballantine is innocent while curing his amnesia,
The movie started off a little boring but as the story continued it got a lot more interesting. I found myself wanting to know John's story almost as much as he did himself, and I was trying a bit of my own psychoanalysis on his character as I watched the movie. I thought that John had an interesting story and I enjoyed watching as it developed and he figured out who he was. The movie was also really cute at moments, and I liked the ending. I also enjoyed all of the plot twists and the movie kept my attention. I especially enjoyed how dreams and dream analysis played such an important role in figuring out the story. I enjoyed this movie overall and would recommend it.

AuthorHello fellow film lovers! Just a little bit about me: I love movies from the Old Hollywood era, especially musicals. In general, my movie taste is a bit all over the place. I don't really stick to one genre, as I just watch whatever looks interesting! I look forward to broadening my horizons in terms of film and reviewing them to the best of my ability in an honest way. Reading another passion of mine, and I'm frequently told I have an old soul, so expect to see a lot of older films being reviewed. I hope you can find what you need here! Archives
