Strange is the word
29 November 2019
Strange indeed is the word for this picture released from Republic. Our protagonist star is Brenda Marshall who was better known back in the day as Mrs. William Holden.

Marshall plays a doctor who is experimenting with a new anesthesia she's invented. Using herself as a test guinea pig she has friend Hillary Brooke monitor her as she goes under.

Can't say any more but it's quite a wild ride where among other things Ruth Ford tries to kill her, Hillary Brooke turns out to be a false friend and her husband and fellow physician William Gargan is perplexed by it all.

Anthony Mann hit a bit of a speed bump with Strange Impersonation. It's good, but far from great.

Only at the very end will the strangeness and choices Marshall makes all become clear.
