If you're at all interested in reincarnation and past lives, you've got to rent The Search for Bridey Murphy. Even if you're just skeptical about it, this movie is a must-see. As lead actor Louis Hayward explains to the camera at the start of the movie, it's based on a true story and certain dialogues are lifted exactly from the original tape recordings of the hypnosis sessions. It'll certainly make for some intense discussions afterwards.
Teresa Wright plays the wife of Louis's friend, and once Louis gets the hypnotism bee in his bonnet, he uses it as a parlor trick to entertain everyone. Teresa's case is different, though, and she goes deep into her past lives, way back to 1800s Ireland. She speaks in an accent, acts differently, dances a jig, and provides clues that prove what she's saying is true. To some, it can be creepy. To others, it can be fascinating.
Louis's poor wife, Nancy Gates, gets jealous. After all, her husband is flaunting an obsession with another woman right under her nose. Nancy is as cute as a button; what did she do to deserve that? I would recommend this forgotten silver screen drama if you're the type who likes to discuss movies after they're over. It's a really interesting story that raises questions and doubts.
