Reseña destacada
Sort of a lesson on how phony psychics ply their trade.
While some might call this a film noir picture, it's really more of a true crime movie...and a very good one at that. The story is about psychics and how they prey upon gullible folks who want to communicate with dead loved ones....and one particular case involving a very rich lady who seems to be the perfect victim.
They story begins with a smart bunco artist, Tony Weldon (Ricardo Cortez), organizing the local phony psychics behind something he calls the Rama Society. Using this seemingly legitimate organization, they plan on bilking Jessica Royce...and when the police find out, they work hard to stop them...even though Mrs. Royce is 100% sure the Society is doing wonderful work and she refuses to listen to the police.
This is a very good B-movie from RKO because it manages to take a simple story idea and tell it well due to very good acting and writing. The ending also is very rewarding. Overall, a very good film despite it being relatively low budgeted.
