George Harvey Bone is a composer in early 20th century London, who is under stress because he is writing a piano concerto. Due to this stress, he gets black outs when ever he hears dissonances. When he finds himself after the black out in a different quarter of the town, he returns home, to read in the paper that somebody in that quarter was murdered. Asking help from a doctor at Scotland Yard he is assured that he has nothing to do with it, but he is advised to cut back in his work and get some relaxation like other, ordinary people. At a cheap musical he meets Netta, a singer, who inspires him for a new motive for his concerto. But Netta discovers that this motive could also be used as a song for her. The song gets sold, and she hangs around George to get more songs out of him. George believes that Netta is in love with him, and gets in an argument with his girlfriend Barbara, the daughter of Lord Henry, who wants the concerto for one of his soirées. George has another black out.

Director: John Brahm
Writer: Barré Lyndon (screenplay), Patrick Hamilton (novel)
Actors: Laird Cregar, Linda Darnell, George Sanders, Glenn Langan
Rated: APPROVED
Runtime: 77 min

An overworked composer suffers blackouts during which he becomes a homicidal maniac.

Laird Cregar was an excellent character actor who, much to his disdain, ended up playing psychotic murderers towards the end of his short career; he tried to lose weight in an effort to get other types of roles, but ended up dying of a heart attack at the age of 28. One can easily see why he ended up with these roles; he is wonderful here, particularly in the sequences when he goes into his blackouts. There are other strong aspects to this movie; John Brahm's direction is wonderful and audacious, and the staging of some of the murders is memorable. What is interesting is the way he uses crowd scenes as a backdrop to some of the murders, particularly the opening one which occurs in a pawn shop on a crowded street. I also like the way that each murder is punctuated by a scene that involves fire; three separate conflagrations occur at various points in this movie, including a memorable one during Guy Fawkes day. Also excellent is Bernard Herrman's score, which is crucial to the proceedings since music plays such an important role in the movie, particularly during the final moments of the film. For those who've never seen one of Cregar's classic psycho performances (in this movie and in THE LODGER), I highly recommend them.

– Dave Sindelar (Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings)
