In one of the most rarely seen adaptations of a Cornell Woolrich novel, Edward G. Robinson as a phony vaudeville mentalist who is suddenly cursed with the actual ability to see into the future. Terrified of his supernatural power, he opts for a secluded life—until the pending fate of a figure from his past forces him to take action. Director John Farrow was at his most stylish in noir terrain, and this is no exception. Costarring Gail Russell and John Lund, with exceptional noir cinematography by John F. Seitz (This Gun for Hire, Double Indemnity).
