Directed by John Farrow • 1948 • United States
Starring Edward G. Robinson, Gail Russell, John Lund

Noir fatalism and shivery supernatural menace merge in this atmospheric adaptation of a darkly existential novel by pulp master Cornell Woolrich. Edward G. Robinson stars as John Triton, a stage mentalist who may actually have the disturbing power to predict the future. When he foretells the death of wealthy heiress Jean Courtland (Gail Russell), her boyfriend (John Lund) begins to investigate the shadowy Triton. Is it all hocus-pocus, or is tragedy really written in the stars?
