Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A florid romantic melodrama about an amnesiac cured - and cleared of her husband's murder - by the love of a soldier (Cotten) who had earlier dreamed up the letters supposedly written by his buddy (whom she then married). Never mind the dottily contrived plot and the tiresomely fey Jones; the superlative camerawork (Lee Garmes) and Dieterle's brooding direction make it a really rather ravishing experience.
