A brilliant psychological drama, not only for Charles Boyer as a man sitting in a box at a theater seeing himself in the leading role, but for the audience in trying to figure out what is going on. When a second man shows up and is also played by Boyer within the play, it becomes all the more compelling. Audience members whisper about the man sitting in the box, gossiping about something that happened a year ago, and the mystery becomes all the more compelling.
Patricia Morison, the breathtaking cool beauty who played Kate on Broadway as well as Mrs. Anna, plays the female lead within the play and is as good as Boyer, elegant and regal, having chemistry with both Boyer's. This really builds up in suspense with what is going on in the audience's mind as well as what is going on onstage. A very good teleplay makes you not even want to look away for one second as it's obvious that anything could happen at any moment. A sensational episode in every way with every detail letter perfect.
