Possessed (1947 Curtis Bernhardt)

Intriguing beginning, with dazed-looking Crawford wandering city streets, searching for 'David'...

But then she's clearly nuts, so we don't really ever have any empathy with her, nor with Van Heflin, who is only out for himself. A few imaginative touches help, bits of Schumann, but film falls flat.

With Raymond Massey, Geraldine Brooks, Erskine Sanford. Shot by Joe Valentine.
