Good for Claudette fans
15 April 2023
When Claudette Colbert walks down the aisle to marry Robert Ryan, she thinks the rest of her life will be wedded bliss. She has no idea that someone will shout, "I object!" and charge her with bigamy. Sorry, folks, but you should know by now that Robert Ryan isn't just going to get the girl in the first five minutes and sail off into the sunset. Even when he gets the chance to play a good guy, there are lots of obstacles in his path.

The Secret Fury is a psychological thriller, so if you like movies like Gaslight, you can check it out. I'm not giving a spoiler alert, by the way; I'm only comparing the two movies because an innocent woman starts to question her sanity. Though made in 1950, it does feel melodramatic like movies made in the previous decade. Claudette has a definite style to her acting, so if you're looking for something more modern or original, you won't find it in this movie. If you do like her, though, and you want to see her paired with Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome, give it a shot. It's entertaining if you are prepared for something a little on the soapy side.
