SYNOPSIS: A girl has a dual personality - one of them homicidal.

COMMENT: The first film directed by radio producer and dramatist Arch Oboler. Occasionally, visuals are used to help the story, but mostly you can close your eyes and follow it perfectly.

As a girl with a split personality, Phyllis Thaxter is very inadequate. The rest of the cast is competent, but nothing more.

However, the story moves at a reasonable pace and offers passable entertainment.
