55th New York Film Festival
September 29 - October 15, 2017
In this haunting, noirish, paranoiac thriller, Katharine Hepburn grows increasingly obsessed with learning the dark truth about what really happened to the brother (Robert Mitchum) of her handsome and wealthy husband (Robert Taylor).
A bit of an anomaly within Minnelli’s often more colorful and ebullient oeuvre, this black-and-white, paranoiac romantic thriller finds the master harnessing his consummate stylishness to spin a haunting, noirish tale.
