Description: *Ordering multiple items from my listings will feature a discount and combined shipping. Order several and save!* "Secret Beyond the Door" is a 1946 novel by Rufus King, which was adapted into a 1947 American film noir psychological thriller directed by Fritz Lang and starring Joan Bennett and Michael Redgrave. The movie was produced by Walter Wanger and released by Universal Pictures. The story revolves around a woman named Celia (played by Joan Bennett), who suspects her new husband, an architect, plans to kill her. The novel was originally titled "Museum Piece No. 13". The film is known for its atmospheric setting, grand and suspenseful music, and intriguing plot. It has been compared to other Hitchcock films, such as "Spellbound" and "Notorious". The movie also taps into the postwar interest in psychology, with a voice-over narration from the troubled Celia, who recounts her dreams. Despite some narrative gaps, the film is considered a moderately interesting noir, showcasing Fritz Lang's master's touch in the gloom, the fixation on the door, and the cinematography.
