Crossroads (1942)
I knew I had seen this before but just couldn't recall it, but decided that with a super cast which includes William Powell, Hedy Lamarr, Claire Trevor, Basil Rathbone and Felix Bressart that it had to be worth another look. I suppose it was, although I will probably have forgotten it by the next time it comes around. Set in France in the mid-thirties (for no particular reason) it casts Powell as a successful diplomat newly married to Lamarr; he can't recall anything prior to an accident 13 years previously. On to the scene come Rathbone and Trevor in the attempt to convince him that he had a previous persona as a thief and murderer. Did he or didn't he, that's the question.
