Shock (1946)
5/10
Vincent Price Murders His Wife
27 February 2009
"A psychiatrist argues with his wife and, in a fit of rage, kills her. The psychiatrist discovers that the crime was observed by his neighbor and fears she will report him to the authorities. After the woman is unsuccessful in convincing her husband of what she saw, the psychiatrist approaches him and says she needs psychiatric treatment, and she should be placed under his care," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.

He never really cuts loose, in this early starring appearance, but Vincent Price (as Richard Cross) is certainly one of the film's main assets. Lovely Lynn Bari (as Elaine Jordan) is the woman he tries to to please, by killing. And, Frank Latimore (as Paul Stewart) and Anabel Shaw (as Janet Stewart) do well in their roles as the handsome soldier and his possibly touched wife.
