Discussion of "Caught"
Details
Caught (1949) is an American film noir directed by Max Ophuls and starring James Mason, Barbara Bel Geddes, and Robert Ryan. The screenplay was by Arthur Laurents from the novel Wild Calendar by Libbie Block.
Leonora Eames (Bel Geddes) always dreamed about being rich. Her dreams come true when she marries Smith Ohlrig a multimillionaire. Her dreams quickly turn into nightmares when Ohlrig turns out to be mentally unstable and abusive. Leonora eventually leaves Ohlrig, going to work in a doctor's office, and befriends Dr. Larry Quinada (Mason). The two eventually fall in love but there's one problem: she's married to Ohlig and he's not going to give Leonora up easily.
