A subject that would be fully achieved by Samuel Fuller 17 years later,"Shock" is an entertaining thriller.It begins as a Freudian movie in the grand tradition of the movies dealing with psychoanalysis in the first half of the forties ("Dark mirror" "Secret beyond the Door" "spellbound" "cat people" etc)but it is closer to a detective story the ending of which a bit similar to "Notorious" released the same year.Vincent Price is ideally cast as the machiavellian doctor .Admittedly,there are flaws :the young lieutenant is very naive ,but after all,his wife was worrying for years ,it was WW2 ...
Clinics are a place you feel ill at ease.It was one of the first times (strewth it may very well be) a criminal had planned to do away with a witness in a hospital.And in a mental hospital at that.
