STRANGE ILLUSION 1945 (MILL CREEK)

Excellent film noir from director Edgar Ulmer about a young man who has a dream in which he sees his mother marry a dangerous man and also it shows him how his father died, or was murdered.
He desparately tries to stop his mom from marrying a man played by Warren William. His doctor helps him with the investigation which uncovers some very interesting facts.
Done on a minimal budget, this is Ulmer at his best. There is more going on in the 68 minute running time than most modern films three times that long. The rest of the cast includes Regis Toomey, Jimmy Lyndon and Sally Eilers. One of the best of the genre. Highly Recommended!!
