A promising classical musician finds his life poisoned by a music hall dancer — and by the strange gaps in his memory. This nail-biting, grim crime thriller is the final film of talented young actor Laird Cregar, who had the potential of becoming a major Hollywood star had he not died shortly after filming. Set in a dark, foggy turn-of-the-century London, Laird plays an extraordinarily sensitive composer who becomes an enraged psychotic killer after hearing too many strident, harsh sounds.
Starring Laird Cregar, Linda Darnell, George Sanders.
