Directed by Jack Hively. Production: Paramount Studios.
This was an old Film Noir picture that was OK. It was clear that this was a B movie. It didn't have too interesting a story behind it. But a lot of typical Noir attributes. A man gets hit on the head, suffers an episode in which his memory suddenly changes and he doesn't know anything about his current life but only about the previous life that he disappeared from suddenly a year before. His knew (unfamiliar) life involves an attractive feisty blonde and a police detective pursuing him in regards to the murder of two wealthy associates. How the story unravels itself involves a bed-ridden mute grandmother who seems to know all the secrets and a femme fatale. A good picture to catch in the theater on a rainy day. It stars Burgess Meredith thirty years before his more famous role as Mickey, the old trainer of Rocky Balboa.
