Interesting tale of a possible possession


A pair of newlyweds on way to their honeymoon have their lives turned upside down when the bride suddenly undergoes a dramatic change in personality, claiming to be a woman who fell to her death nearby. Her husband, and a local psychiatric doctor try to unravel the truth behind what she says, and the fate of the deceased woman.

Solid performances from Skip Homeier as the husband, Harry Townes as the doctor, and - especially - Virginia Leith (who handles the contrasting personalities of the new wife and the dead woman superbly), transform what could have been a corny time-filler into a pretty compelling mystery. My only complaint is the ending, which is too abrupt. We could have done with another five minutes to wrap things up. Still, 8/10.

I wonder why this movie does not have the year it was made listed ... which was (1959)
