In turn-of-the-century London, a composer named George Harvey Bone is struggling to finish a piano concerto. Under pressure, he suffers blackouts and comes to in unfamiliar places, unsure of what he has done. A doctor advises him to rest, and he attends a performance by the singer Netta Longdon. Drawn to her, he sets his concerto aside and writes songs for her instead, but jealousy and fear of his own episodes take hold as his work and his feelings for Netta pull against each other.
John Brahm directed the film for 20th Century Fox, from a screenplay by Barré Lyndon and produced by Robert Bassler. It was Brahm's fourth feature, following Girls' School, Wintertime and Tonight We Raid Calais. Laird Cregar plays Bone, with Linda Darnell as Netta, George Sanders as Dr. Allan Middleton, Glenn Langan, Faye Marlowe and Alan Napier among the credited cast of twenty.
Made for about a million dollars, the film took roughly twice that at the box office. It runs 78 minutes, and audiences on TMDB rate it 7 out of 10 from 76 votes, while a critics' score of 7.3 out of 10 from 39 reviews places professional assessment slightly above the viewer average.
