Richard Basehart and Lola Albright
19 February 2012 | by (Youngstown,Ohio) – See all my reviews

"The Black Curtain" is an intriguing Cornell Woolrich adaptation featuring Richard Basehart as the victim of an attempted mugging who comes to believing himself to be Phil Townsend, a bridegroom on his way to his wedding, at 1:00 in the morning. A helpful cab driver (Harold J. Stone) helps him track down his fiancée (Gail Kobe), who reveals that she has been married for three years to the same private detective she'd hired to find him. Phil now must piece together the events of the past three years, discovering the one person who knows his new identity, Ruth (Lola Albright), who tells him he is David Webber, a bodyguard for her wealthy uncle, and murder suspect in a woman's death. Richard Basehart was best remembered for his starring role on Irwin Allen's television series based on his own 1961 feature, "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea." James Farentino plays a blackmailing thug, Frank Sully a drunk, and Celia Lovsky a landlady.
