The Amazing Mr X - 1948 *

 

 

This supposedly was made as a vehicle for beautiful Carole Landis before her tragic suicide. I do wish Carole had been a star of this film. I feel it would've been of a much higher quality and considerably more watchable compared to the frankly appalling experience I sat through.

Two years after the death of her husband, widow Christine believes she hears her husband calling her from the beach next to her house. Disturbed and confused, she finds it even more odd when she meets a mysterious medium named Alexis who apparently knows all about her and even offers to give her readings where he will contact her dead husband. What comes to light however, is that Christine isn't the only one who has been fooled by an entity.
Strange, not enjoyable, and no atmosphere whatsoever. Added to which, the quality of the print was so weak that it might've been better binning this than trying half-heartedly to restore it.
