Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Julia Ross secures employment through a rather nosy employment agency, with a wealthy widow, Mrs. Hughes, and goes to live at her house. 2 days later, she awakens - in a different house, in different clothes and with a new identity. She's told she is the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Hughes and has suffered a nervous breakdown. Is Julia really 'Julia', or is it true that she's lost all memory of who she is?

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Director Joseph H. Lewis was famous for setting up the camera in bizarre places and fashions (avoiding actors' faces quite often) and intentionally held scenes for awkward amounts of time to build tension. When the Columbia producer visited the set, he thought Lewis was crazy. They fought over schedules and budgets, as well as Lewis's artistic license to set up his scenes as he liked, and Lewis threw the Columbia producer off the set. Lewis was well on his way to becoming a pariah at Columbia until co-founder and president Harry Cohn screened the film. He supposedly shouted at his producer, "Send him a barrel of whiskey, because any man with this talent can take the time he wants to. Now don't bother him." See more » |
| Goofs | When Sparkes calls Mrs. Hughes from the employment agency, she begins dialing the phone with the writing end of her pencil. In the next shot she's dialing with the eraser end. See more » |
