Caught (1949)


MGM
Directed by Max Ophuls
My rating: 3.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Barbara Bel Geddes gives a stunning portrayal of a small-town girl who gets exactly what she wants: a millionaire husband. She even convinces herself she loves the power-hungry monster, played by Robert Ryan. She eventually becomes bored with their reclusive life in a Long Island mansion and leaves him. She gets a real job as a receptionist in a doctor's office and falls in love with the doctor. Still married and now pregnant after a brief reunion, she must confront the manic Ryan with the truth.
