The January Classics: The Locket

Cindy did a great job announcing this Sunday’s Classic so I will leave what she wrote and only add that I picked this one for no particular reason except I knew a storm was coming and being weather bound always puts me in the mood for something noir-ish! This is a lesser-known one, but the cast and trippy plot should make for a fun watch and discussion!

The Locket is a 1946 American psychological thriller film noir directed by John Brahm, starring Laraine Day, Brian Aherne, Robert Mitchum, and Gene Raymond.

SYNOPIS: A bridegroom is about to marry when he receives a mysterious visitor who claims that he was once married to his fiancée and warns that she is seriously mentally disturbed. In a series of flashbacks, the man - a psychiatrist - tells the groom the horrific story of his own marriage, including his discovery of how she had deceived a previous fiancé.
