(George Cukor, US 1944, 114 min., DCP)
After witnessing her aunt’s murder, young Paula (Ingrid Bergman) is sent to Italy to study opera and put that horrible night out of her memory. When she falls in love and marries Gregory (Charles Boyer), the two move into the house where that fateful murder took place. Paula quickly realizes she may not have fully recovered from the trauma . . . is she actually losing her mind or is there some deeper secret at play? Originally written as a Broadway play and committed to film in the UK in 1940, this dark, controversial period noir was nominated for seven Oscars, including a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Angela Lansbury (born in 1925), in her feature film debut.
