A psychoanalyst at a Vermont mental hospital discovers the newly arrived director is an impostor suffering from amnesia who fears he may have committed murder. Convinced of his innocence, she abandons her position to help him recover his lost memories and uncover the truth.
Cindy says
Hitchcock plays it surprisingly romantic here—a psychological mystery wrapped in genuine chemistry between Bergman and Peck, though the amnesia plot feels a touch contrived by modern standards. The Dalí dream sequence is visually stunning, and the twists land, but it's more elegant thriller than edge-of-your-seat masterpiece.
