"Take My Life" (1947) initially promises to be more unusual than it is, even challenging us to wonder if we can believe our own eyes (and ears): we are shown evenets that may or may not have taken place this way. It becomes more conventional once the killer is revealed, which happens early, but is still done professionally on a medium budget, with even a few inventive directorial moments (mostly involving mirrors). It all leads to a tense climax aboard a train, and a nice surprise at the end. Well-acted too, with Rosalie Crutchley managing to create a memorable character in just two scenes in total. **1/2 out of 4.
