The Amazing Mr. X (1948) – Bernard Vorhaus.

A melancholy widow (Lynn Bari), still grieving the loss of her beloved husband is cynically preyed upon by a fraudulent psychic Alexis (Turhan Bey)in atmospheric chiller The Amazing Mr. X. This noirish B-thriller remains a surprisingly engaging watch, replete with a sardonic text, quality performances, stylised chiaroscuro photography and excitingly providing a rip roaring climax! With today's baffling proliferation of paranormal popinjays, pseudo-scientific shills and meta-mystic mumbo-jumboists, The Amazing Mr. X retains a shocking relevance, that even the redoubtable Mr. X himself couldn't have envisioned!
