This is an odd little suspense film starring Robert Young and Betsy Drake (a.k.a., Mrs. Cary Grant). Betsy meets a tortured soul in Robert Young. Apparently his fiancée died a year earlier and his life has been a mess since. He's obviously depressed, but he also seems very forgetful and moody. However, once Drake becomes involved, things seem to get worse for him and odd little things begin to happen around his home. First, an expensive statue of his if inexplicably broken, then his horse injures itself inside the stable and must be put down, then his rose bush dies, then his dog dies and even a painting he owns fades drastically. It's as if he is cursed and everything around him dies...or maybe Young is insane and he is subconsciously destroying everything around him. Drake somehow believes he is NOT insane and sets out to determine if someone is trying to discredit young or drive him over the edge. However, when an attempt is made on her life, things take a very serious turn indeed!
While there is much more to the film than this, there are many good twists and turns. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of improbabilities and you need to suspend your sense of disbelief or you'll never be able to enjoy the film. However, if you can, it's a super-entertaining flick and well worth a look.
