Featured review
Phony Spiritualism eventually leads to love.
Photographer gets involved with hypnosis & spiritualism, then learns lessons. This could've gone tough and dark (which would've been OK) but it turned out to be a sweet charmer (also OK). The performances seem a bit pedestrian, but it's the chemistry of the leads which wins me over. I will actually grade this 6.5.
Online free at 64 minutes rather than listed 66 minutes, but I think that recording runs fast. This particular print is also blue-tinted, which is also listed at IMDB. Supposedly there is a silent version, but only sound is listed at IMDB presently.
