A great Ray Milland is the heart and soul of this beautiful science fiction ghost story where the powerful Milland is still grieving the long ago death of his young daughter that so called visions of her makes him believe that she's trying to communicate him. Wheelchair bound wife Gene Tierney isn't as convinced and this creates problems in their marriage. Government agent Ed Asner and Major General Frank Maxwell step in, believing that foreign governments are somehow involved in this scam. In fact, an entire conspiracy comes out about it, and it turns out to be so much more.
While Don Murray is top billed, It's Milan whom you'll remember because this is a far cry from many of his later performances where he played wealthy but extremely grouchy old men you long to see get their comeuppance. This is not Milland in any of the American International Edgar Allan Poe adoptions or Frogs or The Thing with Two Heads. Millland is completely vulnerable here, and he gives a lovely performance. There's also John Carradine, Barbara Bain and Virginia Christine. An early movie of the week that is completely outstanding.
