Undercurrent (1946)

MGM
Directed by Vincente Minnelli
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Katharine Hepburn marries a wealthy scientist with political connections in DC. Her easy going style and down home appearance clashes with the social elite. One night she catches her husband in a lie about his brother which leads her to uncover family skeletons, up to and including murder. Hepburn is miscast as the naive daughter of a scientist, Robert Mitchum is underutilized as the brother from the past and Robert Taylor, well is Robert Taylor, suave and debonair as the husband. An ending involving a horse is just plain ridiculous.
