Where Film Noir Lives...Too!
My Name Is Julia Ross (1945) Directed by Joseph H. Lewis
B-movie auteur Joseph H. Lewis directed this taut exercise in film noir. Julia Ross (Nina Foch),
an American receiving medical treatment in London, finds herself short on money and takes a job as secretary for Mrs. Hughes
(May Whitty), the matriarch of a large estate. Julie meets Mrs. Hughes' son Ralph (George Macready), a mysterious gentleman with a facial scar, shortly before eating lunch and falling into a deep sleep.
When she awakes, she's in a different home with a high fence, and everyone around her insists that she's Ralph's wife, just home after a stay in a mental institution. My Name Is Julia Ross was one of Lewis' first "prestige" productions; begun as a ten-day B-picture, studio heads were so impressed with the results that they expanded the schedule by eight days to give the picture more polish.
