Sleep, My Love - 1948 - 6/10

New York woman, Alison, wakes on the midnight train to Boston.
No idea how or when she boarded the train.
No memory of having shot her husband.
All instincts point to her losing her marbles.
Except, wait a minute, her patient husband has a slice of cheesecake stashed.

Noir in look only, and the opening and closing.
In-between, melodrama-splashed, psychological thriller.
Douglas Sirk directs, though his flourishes are minimal.
Also involved are Mary Pickford and Buddy Rogers.
