STRANGE ILLUSION(1945)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics


A man is killed when a train hits his car and
his son thinks there's more to the whole thing
than just an accident! And of course, the dreams
he's having are starting to come true!

Talk about "polically incorrect", during a
conversation between a psychiatrist and Paul,
Paul says "That's mighty white of you"!!!! B-

A review from IMDb.com:

Although I would hesitate to call it "film
noir," Strange Illusion is a tightly woven,
intriguing mystery. For a Poverty Row production,
the writers and Ulmer paced the film well and
kept it interesting. The acting, although
amateurish at times, doesn't distract from
a believable story. My only real complaint
about the film is the music-- too much and
too loud.

Brett's penchant for teenage girls is a
refreshingly realistic perversion for a
film of the '40s. It also stands in stark
contrast to the "gee whiz" scenes which
seem lifted straight out of "Leave It
to Beaver."

I rate it 7/10. - huboon
