Whirlpool


Noir
3.5 stars

The scary thing is, after seeing Angel Face and this, I came to the realization I may not like Otto Preminger that much (Man with the Golden Arm notwithstanding). This one, about a rich kleptomaniac who gets treated/swindled by a hypnotist is well crafted and the drama is tight, but ultimately the payoff isn't so strong.
