Corridor of Mirrors**           
(GB 1948)                                                 
Apollo/Cartier-Romney. 105m. bw

A London socialite falls for a mysterious man who lives in the past and claims that she is the reincarntion of his past love.
Curious romantic melodrama - something of a vogue for the time - and surprisingly lavishly well made, influenced by Cocteau as well as Brief Encounter, but uneven in both respects with shifting audience sympathies, and style generally superseding content - a recurring theme with this director's later work, including James Bond.
